Attack On Judiciary Unfair, APC Governor’s Forum Tell Atiku

The Progressives Governors Forum, (PGF), a body encompasing All Progressives Congress (APC)  governors has decribed as unfair the attack of the Judiciary by Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the last presidential election.

While reacting to Supreme Court’s dismissal of his appeal against the election President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election, Atiku had said that the Judiciary was compromised by a cabal running the presidency.

However, reacting to the statement, the PGF said Atiku could not afford to desecrate the institution of the Judiciary simply because its decision did not favour him, adding that he ought not to have approached the court if he knew it was compromised.

Speaking through Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Governor, the PGF said the response of Atiku was ridiculous adding that haven taken a step to approach the court, the decision can go one way or the other. He noted the PDP candidate failed to present his case and cannot blame the court.

“Why did they go to the court if they don’t believe in it? They went to court to file a case, why did they go there to file the case when they believe the courts don’t have what it takes to deliver justice? I think that is ridiculous.

” We all went there, but because you don’t like the outcome, because you cannot prove your case, you don’t need to desecrate the institution”.
