Press Statement

Shettima: PDP Tasks Buhari, FG to Speak Out on Public Holiday Allegation


…Cautions APC to Respect the Independence of the Judiciary

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) calls on the Federal Government and President Muhammadu Buhari to speak out on the alarming reports in the public space of moves to declare Friday, May 26, 2023 a public holiday as a ploy to stop the Supreme Court from sitting to deliver judgment on the disqualification case against the APC Vice Presidential candidate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, over double nomination, already scheduled for that date.

The PDP also calls on the Federal Government to come clean on a further allegation, which is also in the public domain that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is mounting pressure on the Department of State Services (DSS) to advice President Buhari to declare the public holiday.

The ominous silence by the Federal Government in the face of such grave allegations is heightening tension across the country and has the capacity to trigger wide-spread crisis if not immediately addressed.

Such reported sinister plot by the APC against the Supreme Court is consistent with the insensitivity, manipulation, abuse of power and process promoted by the APC as an act of governance in the last eight years.

The PDP therefore calls on President Buhari to immediately douse the palpable tension in the country by making a categorical statement with regard to the reported plots by the APC to stop the sitting of the Supreme Court through the declaration of a public holiday.

Nigerians across board are eager for the delivery of the judgement on the set date, Friday, May 26, 2023, in the disqualification case against Sen. Kashim Shettima, for double nomination as APC Senatorial and Vice-Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections in violation of the provision of Section 35 of the Electoral Act, 2022.

The APC must respect the independence of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court in the administration of justice as guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and the Principle of Separation of Powers as enshrined in the Constitution.

Nigeria is already strained and any attempt to impose a public holiday on Friday, May 26, 2023 as a ploy to stop the Supreme Court from delivering its reserved judgment is capable of increasing the tension with possible dire consequences to the polity.

Hon. Debo Ologunagba

longetivity:
Judgement will favour Tinubu.
Tinubu will not be sworn in.
Tinubu has reach the corridor of power but will not sit on the seat of president.

God has a plan for tinubu but it is not the presidency of Nigeria.
The perfect will of God for Nigeria is the OBIDATTI obedient new Nigeria.

Tinubu is threading a very dangerous path that may cost him the ultimate if he does not back off.
He should back off so that God will use for the plan he has for him.
If he continues to be put his head in this presidency against God's will, God will take him away.

So the govt has to respond to all sorts of rubbish trash rumors in the public domain?
These PDP are delusional, just like their counterparts in the IPOB terrorist party.

APC internal affair.

High court and Appeal court already threw this case out. I am not expecting a different result.

The last time this case was in the Appeal court, 5 million naira fine was slapped on Atiku for wasting everyone's time. The fine will even increase this time around.

"Mr Tinubu’s many controversies, from perjury, multiple identities, corruption to documented drug-trafficking, are also beginning to embolden the country’s darker instincts, with politicians, officials and security operatives, making a show of competing for who is the baddest gangster."
