The president noted that the Supreme Court judgment, preceded by that of the Court of Appeal, further bolsters the strength and reach of the APC and its chances of consolidation in coming elections.
In its reaction, the Peoples Democratic Party has said the split judgment by the Supreme Court on the nomination of Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, shows that there is merit in its appeal against his election as governor. The party added that the fact that three justices out of the seven-man panel upheld our position on the illegality of Akeredolu’s nomination confirms that his candidacy was a brazen violation of the 1999 Constitution as well as the constitution of the APC.
“While our party restates its utmost respect for the institution of the judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, the PDP had expected the apex court to stand up as the conscience of our nation by halting the absurdities and impunities being entrenched in the political firmament by the APC.
