PDP Threatens To Stop Buhari’s Inauguration On May 29th by Gistpeeps: 11:30am On Mar 20, 2019 |
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the court order stopping the collation of pending results of the Bauchi governorship election. The party described the order as unconstitutional, and threatened to obtain similar ones stopping the swearing in of all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) “particularly President Muhammadu Buhari”. A federal high court in Abuja had given an ex parte order directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to halt the collation of results from Tafawa Balewa local government area of Bauchi state. The court gave the order while ruling on a suit filed by Mohammed Abubakar, governor of the state who is of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Reacting via a statement, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, accused the APC of arm-twisting the judiciary over the election which he claims his party has won. “Our party should not be constrained into a situation in which we will have no option than to allow our members to seek similar ex parte orders to halt statutory processes including the swearing-in of APC candidates at various levels, particularly President Muhammadu Buhari,” Ologbondiyan said. “The party alerts that such development, which is akin to the infamous order that derailed the 1993 democratic process, is part of the plot by the APC and certain compromised elements in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to escalate crisis and derail our electoral process. “The power to collate, suspend collation and or to reverse such decision based on obvious circumstances as the case in Bauchi is clearly within the domain of INEC.” The party added that until collation is completed and results declared, “no one can question the constitutional powers of INEC.” “Our party should not be constrained into a situation in which we will have no option than to allow our members to seek similar exparte orders to halt statutory processes including the swearing-in of APC candidates at various levels, particularly President Muhammadu Buhari,” it said. “It is clear that collation of result is part of the electoral process and that INEC cannot act on a purported exparte order to jettison its independence and halt the collation of results, which is a key component of its statutory electoral duty. “Our party therefore charges INEC to be properly guided by the law in this regard.” https://all-gists..com/2019/03/PDP-Threatens-To-Stop-Buharis-Inauguration-On-May-29th.html 1 Share

Strange things are now happening in the country. APC using court to stop INEC from doing their job which is a clear violation of the law and constitution. PDP should please, also use common sense to get a judge to stop Buhari from being sworn in. You can get Oluwole order anywhere and let anarchy rain since that's what they looking for. PDP is becoming docile as far as I'm concerned, get to work and employ competent advisers to counter APC devilish and clandestine activities |

Politicians keeps obtaining jankara exparte orders whilst INEC gets steeped in confusion. Do INEC chairman really have phd? Cos he doesn't seems to understand the laws guiding his job or maybe he's playing a script for an 'Osun template'. |

TheFreeOne: The INEC Chair understands the law but he's working in connivance with them. Their ultimate aim is Rivers State. Just wait and see what they will use the court to do in Rivers State |

id911: APC leaders are so desperate and greedy with their winner takes it all attitude. After rigging presidential election they still want to rob PDP of gubernatorial elections. The drums they are beating may soon bring unexpected dance steps they won't be able to match. |
