Sheriff Vs Markafi: Supreme Court Saved Nigeria From One-party State – Ozekhome by Obaiyski(m): 7:42am On Jul 13, 2017
Constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has described the the judgement of the Supreme Court, which resolved the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership crisis as divine.

According to him, the verdict saved Nigeria from a one-party state.

DAILY POST reports that in a landmark judgement delivered on Wednesday, the apex court held that Senator Ahmed Markafi remains the authentic National Chairman of PDP.

The Supreme Court subsequently ordered Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to vacate the National Secretariat of the party with immediate effect.

Reacting to the verdict, Ozekhome said the decision saved PDP from self-destruct and internally-generated volcanic eruption.

“It saved Nigeria’s destructive and annihilating slide into an autocratic and despotic one-party state where absolutism and lack of opposition were already rearing their monstrous visages,” he said.

“Once again, the judiciary, the whipping ‘boy’ of our democracy, has risen to the challenge of saving Nigeria’s wobbling and imperilled democracy.

“A virile opposition constitutes the heart and soul of democracy. The alternative is dictatorship. God bless Nigeria,” he added.

He was trained to defend. He isn't interested in who's guilty or not. It's called PROFESIONALISM

I don't know why most people are so pained about the victory for democracy yesterday. It's apc plan all along to plant a spoilt seed in pdp. It's true all of them are all the same both apc and pdp. Since we Nigerians love money, sentiment and religious politics we should manage the situation like that until we the youths are ready for change
