A socio-political group, Kogi Democratic Group (KDG), has disagreed with reasons adduced to the decisions of the supreme court to dismiss the appeal filed by the immediate past governor, Capt Idris Wada of PDP against the judgement of the lower courts, saying the precedence set by the apex court has eroded peoples’ confidence in the sacred and supremacy of the apex court decisions.
According to the media officer, Abdul Nuhu, the group said gone were the days when the supreme court was insulated from partisanship and miscarriage of justice, saying Kogi scenario is glaringly a total rape on democratic practice in Nigeria.
The group said the acronym “frivolous” smuggled into the reasons for judgement is a lay men attitude and unbecoming of the top echelon of our judicial system, stating that the constitution never provided for substitution during the election, it only says before and after the election and the scenario that brought Yahaya Bello of APC was fraudulently linked to that constitutional provision.
Nuhu stated that the supreme court judgement was premeditated, influenced and craftily adopted under suspicious inducement to further give loopholes to continue to gag democratic governance in the country, restating it’s position for a long time to come, judiciary have been the problem of a stable polity in Nigeria.
“If votes cast in a real contest and candidates are susceptible to surrogates, then the apex court has singlehandedly introduced another round of dimensions of political upheavals capable of overheating the polity against the constitution guiding the nation’s polity and it’s players
“In unequivocal terms, without reservations or mincing of words, this group on behalf of PDP members, supporters and sympathisers of the dislodged Nigerians over the judgement, has alerted the public to disregard the apex court judgement that settles Kogi political conundrum, as selfish, a rape of nascent democracy, gross flagrant abuse of constitutional and attitudinal tendencies to encourage violence, murder, killings and denials of partisan public in Nigeria”, he said.
The group said it has no choice than to abide by the frivolous judgement in the overall interest of moving Kogi forward, but reminded the apex court justices that the judgement of Almighty God is ultimate.
