Supreme Court Imposed Strangers On Zamfara – Oshiomhole

Responding for the first time since the Friday Supreme Court judgment that ousted his party from all positions in Zamfara State, Adams Oshiomhole lamented on Monday that the courts had foisted strangers on the people of the state.

Accosted by journalists at the end a meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the national chairman of the party, Oshiomhole expressed shock that the court would use a technicality to determine the leadership of the state.

“There is no justice when on technicality you impose on people candidates they didn’t elect. If the court thought that we were wrong, the justice would have demanded a repeat. There is nothing democratic when you impose a stranger to govern the people.

“But we understand that after the Supreme Court you can only go to the court of God. To that extent we must obey the Supreme Court but what we got in Zamfara is a judgement that didn’t translate to justice,” he said

“How can you ask me how I feel when the people of Zamfara voted for us in the manner they did and the courts said those votes were wasted?”, he fired back at journalists when asked to react to the judgement.

“Meanwhile at the time those votes were cast, the high court had ruled that our candidate was validly nominated.

“There is something I have learnt from Lord Denning, a famous British Supreme Court Justice, that the law has to be interpreted taking into account the intention of the lawmakers and try to deliver justice in its purest form.
