Due to the petition filed by one Mr. Biyi Poroye against the Justice Jummai Sankey led Appeal Panel set up to determine appeals against the judgment of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has distanced itself from the said petition.
The party in a statement signed by its spokesman Dayo Adeyeye, the party said it finds the petition to be distasteful, offensive, indecent and completely out of keeping with the principles, ideology and ethos of our party to make such unsubstantiated allegations against members of an institution as important as the Judiciary.
According to the party, “over the course of our 16 years in power and in our almost two years out of power, our party has demonstrated respect and reverence for the Judiciary. In this time, we have ensured that we never besmirched the integrity and reputation of the Judiciary through the mud, even when we were not comfortable with the judgments and pronouncements that were given. It is important to stress that neither the writer of the petition nor his sponsors are members of our party. They are a group of people with powerful backers within and outside government who are determined to bend all institutions of democracy to suit their whims, and while failing, they are willing to resort to destructive tactics against such institutions. Even our party is a victim of their destructive tendencies. All their attempt is to pervert justice and stop the will of justice from rolling on. It said
“As a responsible political party, we reaffirm our faith in the Judiciary as the last hope of the common man. We have faith that there are men and women of integrity in the Judiciary who ensure that justice is not only done, but that it is seen to be done. ” We use this opportunity to encourage the Judiciary to weather this storm of blackmail, harassment and intimidation currently being heralded by evil men in the country”.
