He described as depressing, a statement by the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) proclaiming the Supreme Court judgment on Imo governorship election as a “miscarriage of justice”.
Bagudu also condemned Secondus’ claims that the judiciary was “heavily compromised” and had “lost credibility” over the verdict.
“These are depressing allegations coming from supposedly democratic leaders who should ordinarily be in the forefront of protecting and defending the judicial institution as the sanctuary of our democracy.
“It is contemptuous and disrespectful to our democracy,” he said.
The forum’s chairman said, “this is most unfortunate and condemnable, we call on Nigerians and all lovers of democracy in the country to rise to the defence of our democratic institutions, especially the judiciary.
“We must prevail on the PDP leadership and all politicians to exercise restraint by demonstrating unalloyed loyalty and respect for our democratic institutions, particularly our judiciary, which is the most important pillar of democratic governance.
“To allege that a judgement delivered by Supreme Court Judges is procured simply because it does not favour the PDP is an invitation to anarchy,” he said.
According to him, it is on record that President Muhammadu Buhari has at all times stated his commitment to democracy and rule of law.
“Our party has lost elections we thought we will win. Equally, our party has been stopped from participation in elections by the judiciary, for example in Rivers State.
“The case of Zamfara where we won the election but the Supreme Court in its wisdom nullified all our votes and declared PDP candidates as winners is another experience.
“In addition, our party members have lost many cases, and even though our views differ from the judgement delivered, we do not disparage the judiciary, yet our views of the judgement differ from the court,” he said.
Bagudu, said the forum declared abiding faith in the nation’s judiciary, and would at all times respect all decisions of the courts at all levels no matter the circumstances.
“Our party and our members believe in the sanctity of our judicial institution as the last hope for justice for our people,” he said.

Las Las I'm looking for how to remove my siblings from that horrible country. Shame will not even allow you hold the green algae passport when travelling
ReplyDeleteYou are just a stupid low self esteemed person. For your information some of us carry our green passport with pride while using first class tickets to travel the world and staying in the best five star hotels all with our hard earned money.
DeleteAnon, foolish idiot! Carry the map on your forehead and travel with you. Am I some of You? I said what i said, go and cry to Bubu..Efulefu
DeleteAnon 7.55.. you are bastard. Most of you annons are dumb heads, it's the reason I don't reply you all but your own stupidity is too much to pass by without paying homage.. for someone calling another a low self esteemed person, who asked you if you fly first class and lodge in 5stars. Stupid idiot. It's obvious you haven't traveled outside the northern Nigeria, core north to be precise sef.. the first time I left Africa, I was advised to keep my passport inside an envelope until I got to the immigration personnel that was gonna clear me into the country i visited. Let's just say that advice came in handy from what I observed in the airport.
DeleteSo it's either you're just a dumb fool who doesn't know what he is saying or you're a foolish idiot who knows the truth but decides to go with the lie, either of both, you still remain a bastard. And may your life be as 'amazing' as Nigeria is at the moment
your observations and reservations would still make sense without the pellets. please let us be more civil...one Naija!
DeleteDante and Aproko’s comments sound like them. People with self hate, no self esteem, inferiority complex. That’s why you find it easy to insult others. Better people who have achieved what you two will never achieve in millennia to come proudly hold their green passport with pride and show it whenever. But because you manage to live in algae infested shared accommodations somewhere outside Nigeria, you now see yourselves better and more comfortable than the Queen. What a wawu! Go grow your esteem and learn to love the unfortunate beings you have become due to your self hate.
