The Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, Governors' Forum have kicked against
the outcome of the Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt,Rivers State
that reinstated Ali Modu Sheriff as the National Chairman of the
Party,describing it as a rape on the Nation;s democracy.
Addressing news men in Abuja today, the Chairman of
the Forum who is also the Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose hinted that
the Party would be heading for the Supreme Court to challenge the
judgment
Fayose while describing the Judgment as action against the will of the
people said "If the people truly symbolizes what a party is, then the
machinations of our detractors and the anti-democratic organs will not
prevail at last. We commend the minority judgment of the lower court and
we believe the truth will prevail.
Thank God we have another opportunity to seek justice at the Supreme
Court, which I believe will not be delayed or denied. The party will
appeal the judgement as we believe in the ability of the judiciary to do
justice, however we plead with our members ,leaders and supporters to
calm down as we keep hope alive. If this is a price to pay, to keep our
democracy alive and opposition strengthened, we are prepared to go the
whole hug. The party organs will meet shortly to take concrete steps and
decisions on the way forward", he said.
