Abuja (Sundiata Post) – A group christened Patriotic APC Media Front has condemned the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State for its petition against the judgements of Justice Mohammed Tukur led Tribunal said to be in favour of the All Progressive Congress (APC).https://sundiatapost.com/plateau-tribunal-gov-muftwang-wins-as-apc-moves-to-appeal/
The APC group in a statement signed by its Chairman Charles Daniang and the secretary Sumata K. Samuel respectively commended the astuteness of Hon. Justice M.B Tukur led the panel for refusing to yield to the desires of the PDP by dispensing Justice fairly and justly.
It stated that posterity shall be kind to this panel for saving the reputation of the Judiciary even in the face of glaring intimidation, smear and blackmail.
“We consider it shameful that the PDP in the state went as far as writing a petition against Panel 1, accusing it of ” deliberate perversion of Justice and conspiracy.
“If this petition is anything to go by, what is good for the goose, is always good for the gander, so it should be discountenanced.
It is noteworthy, that the Plateau PDP and its products are in the habit of choosing which Court order to obey and not to obey, as seen in the illegal dissolution of Democratically elected Local Government structures despite a restraining order served on the Governor, Plateau State Government and its relevant agencies from carrying out such illegal actions”. https://sundiatapost.com/tribunal-retires-plateau-assembly-speaker/
The group posited that the flagrant disregard of the PDP if allowed to continue, will set a very bad precedent, and dangerous pedestrian in Plateau politics with grave and dire consequences.
It therefore called on the National Judicial Council (NJC), to set up a committee to investigate the actions of those Judges who accommodated contempt and affront on the Judiciary at this critical moment.
The Patriotic APC Media Front urged the citizens of the state to ignore the antics of the PDP and allow the Judiciary do its job rather than resort to blackmail and intimidation that is being used as a tool to canvass public sympathy for its case.
