The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said its decision to seek the review of the Supreme judgement on Imo State was not to challenge the authority of the apex court.
The party said it still believe in the finality of the Supreme Court, but, however, stated that the grounds for its request was for the apex court to correct the alleged mistake in the Imo State judgement.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out the request of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the review of the Bayelsa State governorship judgement, with costs against the applicants.
But PDP said in the statement Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan that its appeal is different from that of Bayelsa State.
“It is therefore instructive to note that the various election matters before the Supreme Court were brought on clearly distinctive grounds and each should be treated on its merit before the law,” PDP contested.
The party stated that its effort was “to assist the Supreme Court affirm its infallibility by correcting the inherent mistakes in the judgment which came as a result of misleading presentation to it by the APC.”
PDP accused the APC of seeking for a review of the Supreme Court judgement on the Bayelsa and Zamfara governorship elections to cause confusion and blackmail the Supreme Court from treating the Imo case on merit.
