Oshiomhole

Adams Oshiomhole Friday lashed out at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for fanning the embers of disunity in the country through actions that should not be even contemplated by partially mad persons.

Responding to the opposition party’s assertions on the Supreme Court judgment that ousted the party from the Imo Government House, Comrade Oshiomhole accused the PDP of cherry-picking decisions of the apex court and wanting to bring down the roof when decisions are taken against the party.

The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC spoke at a press conference in Abuja where he also called for the immediate arrest of the returning officer of the Imo State governorship election and the lower court judges who ruled against the APC.

Oshiomhole was flanked by members of the APC National Working Committee, NWC at the press conference at the party’s national headquarters.

Denouncing the claims of the PDP, he frowned at the language used by PDP officials saying that “even people who are partially mad are not expected to use in a democracy”

“We watched as PDP made very reckless statement that are designed not only to intimidate the judiciary but one that is calculated to lay foundation for carefully planned unrest with a view to undermining the peace and stability of the Nigerian nation.”

He said that Emeka Ihedioha’s election was clearly defective on the basis of the claim that he lacked the geographical spread.

“The key issue in the case of APC and Uzodinma is that INEC and the collating officers bluntly refused to collate the votes in part of Hope Uzodinma’s senatorial zone of Orlu, altogether about 388 Polling Units votes were not collated.

“Meanwhile, in each of these polling units, INEC appointed presiding officers who signed those results. The party agents in these 388 units signed those results. So, the validity of those results were never in dispute.

“INEC did not have any cause to invalidate the results. All that happened was that the collating officers in those units refused to collate the results from 388 units in the Governorship election that were in favour of Sen. Hope Uzodinma.”
