Oshimhole Vows To Trounce PDP And Its Television Lawyers At World Court

By Chuks Ekpeneru

NATIONAL Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday taunted the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP over its loss at the Presidential Election Tribunal, vowing to trounce its television lawyers at the World Court.

Oshiomhole who spoke to State House correspondents after he led a delegation of the party’s women to the president said the ruling of the tribunal was reflective of the decision given the party in the presidential election.

“We as a party, we are confident if it is within the Nigerian law for PDP to go even to the World Court, we will meet them there. The Supreme Court is the Supreme Court of Nigeria, it is not a Supreme Court of PDP or APC. 

“And even they, are governed by law and their business is to interpret or re-interpret the evidence that was before the Court of Appeal, they are not at liberty to introduce new issues nor can they bring in new witnesses. 

“So if it is what I heard yesterday which I believe you also heard, most Nigerians were detained for eight hours listening even not seeing the voices, listening to the arguments of the judges one after the other. 

” I think even though initially we thought it was getting longer but we realized that they tried to deal with each of the issues raised. Even the one you and I as lay men will consider inconsequential, they dealt with each of them, thrashed them and arrived at a conclusion. 

“Yesterday (Wednesday) I said that this whole contestation was about Nigeria who actually won the election and both parties are committed to building Nigeria, it was just about who should be given the key. 

“Now, this has been resolved and it is time to queue behind the winner and move on. After all our winner is the best example that losing one election is not tantamount to the end of a political life. 

“He lost three (elections) and today he is President. So but when I see the arrogance with which they pronounced and they bring what I call television lawyers who pronounce with some managerial finality as if they were judges even without any evidence before them. 

“Let me now say authoritatively, we are ready to meet them, President Buhari is going to meet defeated Atiku Abubakar at the Supreme Court. The All Progressives Congress is ready to meet PDP at the Appeal Court and Adams Oshiomhole is going to meet my brother (Uche) Secondus at the Appeal Court. 

“And he will take second and I will take first.”
