PoliticsNGR has just gathered that the Peoples Democratic Party has suspended its 2019 presidential campaign over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.

In a statement signed by the chairman of the party and co-chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council, Uche Secondus, made available to this Newspaper early Saturday Morning, the Presidential Campaign has been suspended in protest of the suspension.

The Statement read;

"Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council has suspended its presidential campaign in protest of President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to suspend the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.

The PDP Campaign Council further predicated the suspension of its campaign activities in solidarity with Nigerians in our collective rejection of the assault against our democratic order.

Describing President Buhari action as a “dangerous and brazen assault on the constitution”, the PDP Campaign Council says in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday night that there is no point in campaigning to contest in an election, whose very basis has been so flagrantly undermined.

“The basis for this election is the democracy itself. When democracy comes under this kind of virulent attack, then the election itself becomes superfluous,” the statement said.

The PDP Presidential Campaign was scheduled to be in Benue State on Saturday. But it now said it is suspending its campaign activities for a period of 72 hours in the first instance.

“In the first instance, we are suspending our campaign for 72 hours. It is our hope that President Buhari will listen to the voice of all lovers of democracy the world over and restore democracy in Nigeria immediately and without qualifications. At the moment, the President has effectively suspended the constitution under whose basis the elections are being contested.

The action of President Buhari represents a constitutional breach and a direct attack on our democracy. This must never be allowed to stand, as there is no way by which democracy can survive under these autocratic tendencies.

We call on all well meaning Nigerians to rise in defence of democracy and save our nation from this imminent slide into tyranny."

Atiku should ask for a refund from the people that sold Dubai strategy to him, these people hate PDP deep down cos all they've succeeded in doing is make their affinity and obsession with corruption & grand larceny so obvious at each and every turn.

PDP won't stop making sane & fair minded people laugh, CJN admitted to "forgetting" to declare over $3m (and counting) and "they've turned that into a CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER" rather than distancing themselves from the drama, they have decided to carry it on dem head like expired gala for inside go slow...

There is an attack on the constitutional separation of powers. The judiciary has been ambushed and usurped by the executive. The opposition and the civil society have the obligation to rise up and resist the growing fascism.

Buhari supporters claims he has cult-like following in the North. He should be confident to rely on the supposed following instead of truncating democracy as he did in 1983. What a load of rubbish.

Buhari will surely divide this country if voted for again

A collective duty by all patriotic Nigerians is to send this man back to where he came from (Daura)

We all know what to do

Feb 16, lets make sure Zombies across the nation break their television sets upon the announcement of the winner of the elections

RIP to Nigeria ��
RIP to Nigeria ��
RIP to Nigeria ��
Please nobody should be commenting or comparing or campaigning about election. It’s dead........if you don’t know then you must be in 1984.

Today is the day Nigeria dies or not if this succeeds...........so we are in clear and present danger right now 25th Jan 2019

America appointed an Obama 10 years ago and he did to them what Joseph did in the Bible and he left office with the greatest record ever being 8th greatest......even President Clinton that is my best ever is Number 13. They told Obama nobody can make it to Top 10 because you need to go back and fight either civil war or world war ?

But the story is not for Africa.
Times like these show why Africa is domed. We doom it by ourselves

Blacks constitutes 13% of America so if every single black votes......he can’t even make it to the ballot. Obama won Iowa caucus which is 99% white.....20 months before election........I mean they voted him instead of their fellow whites like Hillary Clinton.
This story is not for Nigeria that has slid to Dictatorship. Not for Naija’s consumption

The world of Obama does not exist in this part of the world.
Nigerians need to stand up and fight now or it’s gone a country....bye bye
Awolowo n Fela n Gani Deadbody will fight this war on Nigeria’s democracy

For those who still dey sleep......the next few steps you will see na censor internet and communication.
We are in 1960 now and the next election 2019 is for independence
We must fight now to regain independence of Nigeria

What's d point in prostesting... Jus continue with ur campaigns and let Nigerians evict dis evil landlords from Aso Rock next month

Buhari has bubufied himself and he must be made to pay for it....

At the moment, the President has effectively suspended the constitution under whose basis the elections are being contested.

Is the CJN the INEC chairman? They can't even manage to calm their nerves and put up poker faces, PDP camp has been put in disarray..

PDP was hoping for Onnoghen to "chuckin" their compromised judges into the election tribunals about to be set up..

Governors of AKS, Rivers, Abia etc all lost at the HC, COA but somehow miraculously won at the SC...
They were lucky ,they got away with the 2015 robbery, there won't be a repeat in 2019.

Justice Mary Odili.....

Nbote:
What's d point in prostesting... Jus continue with ur campaigns and let Nigerians evict dis evil landlords from Aso Rock next month

Part of the Dubai strategy involves ensuring compromised & "friendly" judges are part of constituted election tribunals and that plan has already fallen flat on its face..... onnoghen can no longer do their bidding...

Thought y'all said Bubu is/was lifeless? Small activity, y'all wailing like bush baby wey dem seize hin tattered mat... ,

Bubu has got it coming

PDP is finished

Saraki failed to secretly change the Electoral Act
The cover of the CJN has been blown

Atiku is finished.

When Atiku and Pdp refused to put seriousness in their campaigns, I knew they weren't depending on popular ballot to win.

Why is Buari this desperate?

Always posting gibberish to support stupidity of the government.

I pity the end of Nigeria.

Pdp should not only suspend their campaign, they should also suspend their participation in the election.

A few days ago, PDPigz here on Nairaland were rejoicing that Wike is contesting unopposed after getting a string of questionable judgments. Now, it's looking like Buhari would also contest unopposed.

Karma is a bitch.

They can't win before naaa

Solidarity with Nigerians fire!!!, who the hell believes this crap should be flogged with aboki koboko mixed with pepper...

InaNla:

We also appreciate you people stupidity of blind slavery.

4 months ago, you Pdpigz were shouting Biafra or death and wishing for the destruction of Nigeria.

Today, you are crying that Nigeria is being destroyed.

You guys don't yet know what hit you.

Jinadu, face your front and continue your stupid support for the tyrant.

Constitutional breech What buhari did is constitutional. The guy was suspended now not removed now. and can be reinstated if found innocent after trial Nigerians self eh

The CCT has the power to incite judgment on onnoghen and our dearly buhari did accordingly as the CCT ordered. Period. Ignorance will not kill someone people.

Nigeria is doomed

I think PDP had plans around this guy...APC heard and ordered MIB to dig up dirt on him____the suspension was meant to get him out of the way till election was over (rigged)...



It will be stupid to assume these guys (PDP) are fighting for democracy, they never have...They only fight for THEIR OWN...We all do


I hope both parties lose eventually...INEC should just disqualify them for rigging or something

Does it mean they have given up and conceded defeat? Cos ayam not understanding o

This is good. Hate or like it, PDP as a party is very democratic.

Think before posting rubbish

See how BMC have sprang back to life and are running amok since the suspension of the CJN.
it shows they knew that their Buhari stood no chance but now their hope is rekindled and they have started insulting everybody once again.
