The All Progressives Congress, APC in Ekiti State, has said it will proceed to Supreme Court to challenge the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja that upheld Governor Ayodele Fayose’s election

The Court of Appeal held that Governor Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was the duly elected governor of Ekiti State.



But the APC in its reaction, stressed that there were other salient but fundamental issues that ought to have been addressed by the judgment.



The party in a statement in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said that though the court ruled in Fayose’s favour, it was gratifying that judicial declaration was given to APC’s complaint on illegal deployment of troops to harass and intimidate the opposition during the election.

He added that the party also succeeded in proving that Fayose was legally impeached in 2006 as resolved by the Appeal Court in its judgment.

He stressed, however, that the party would appeal the judgment to the Supreme Court, as there were other issues that should have been addressed by the judgment.



“The judgment has vindicated us on our complaint that it was illegal for the ruling party to deploy troops to intimidate the opponents during election to influence victory for its candidate because this is a clear infringement on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the use of the military.



“The recent audio leak about how the election was rigged by PDP chieftains, including the present beneficiary who used the army to terrorise innocent Ekiti citizens, has further lent credence to our petition that the election was neither free nor fair.



“We are also vindicated that Fayose was legally impeached in 2006. As observed in the judgment, it is now left for the National Assembly to look into the nation’s law whether it is right and lawful to allow a man that was impeached over gross misconduct , public funds embezzlement and violation of the constitution to re-contest the position he had earlier lost over such constitutional breaches,” Olatubosun said.

Waste of money

Learners!
Where is Injustice Salami?
Let Osunbande to call him on the phone and tell him how to rule on the election naw.
thiefess!
who know your strategy
you are checkmate!

Good for them as for that tape they should send it to p square and don jazzy in south africa to add to their new upcoming hit song cos is worthless as the MTN caller log between dirty looking salami and tinubu the supreme overlord of lagos and APC

Having successfully destroying PDP. OBJ must be enjoying all the political affection and attention he is getting at the moment. I am just worried that OBJ and Tinubu who couldn't see eye to eye a few years ago are now best of pals singing the same song and somehow Atiku and OBJ, two sworn enemies are in the same camp endorsing a man they jointly defeated in the 2003 polls. I am confused about this kind of change where corrupt ex presidents and VP implicated in the Haliburton scam are also shouting corruption. The same Haliburton scandal that fetched a US congressman jail time. I can still stomach Buhari but the presence of these guys back in the presidency makes me jittery: Atiku, OBJ and Tinubu all in one group. Beware of this sophisticated pimps. I believe they joined the change train to protect their investments and interest. Nigerians shine your eyes, this isn't change, this is continuation. This is the reason we must be careful about politician, they become united when they smell power and money. Our participation is all they need not our contribution.
Buhari though disciplined to an extent cannot do it alone at that age. Nigeria is a lot more volatile and complex than what it used to be in the early 80s. These are the guys to advice him and place people into positions that matter. May we eventually get the change we actually wished for. Before you join them in heating up the polity ensure you get a guarantee from them that they, their children, wives, friends who have benefited from them would be the first line of defence while we follow from a distance. If they are so passionate about this democracy and want to show their full commitment then they must lead by example starting from the battle field. Since they love us so much then they must show it first by leading any protest that may occur as a result of any anomalies from the forthcoming election. Jonathan might join APC tomorrow and he would be welcomed with pomp and pageantry. Do not lose sleep or your life over them, they are only doing their jobs. Remember 3 million people died in the Civil war, there are no monuments to even recognise or appreciate the blood they sacrificed for Nigeria which unfortunately is still a country not a nation. The seams joining us are bursting at the hems due to the magnanimity and genourosity of our politician preaching division and hate. Please protect your life. Do not promote or encourage violence, Nigerians will suffer most.

Nice move by APC. Ekiti must be liberated from the grip of a thug in the person of fayose... He uses army and police to disrupt any hearing brought before the magistrate about his fraudulent victory, if the case is taken to the highest court in the land, we will see how his(fayose) thugs will disrupt the hearing.

For Christ sake, there is an audio evidence on how the crooked govornor planned with some disjointed elements to rig the election, I still can't understand why the silly judge ruled the case in favour of fayose.

Ekiti must be liberated from PDP

this is a waste of time and money. they cannot win this battle. apc should give up. they should look for better things to do.

I thought litigation at the state government level ends at the Appeal Court

Dis APC sef.. Leave s man alone na
