The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday accused lawyers to President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of issuing threats in their written address to the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), describing it as pre-emptive move to intimidate the judiciary.
Tribune reports that The main opposition party said in a statement by its national spokesman, Debo Ologunagba that the submission in the said written address allegedly threatening crisis and anarchy in the country in the event of the Court ruling that their clients did not meet the Constitutionally required 25% votes in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is subversive, an affront to democratic order and assault on the corporate existence of the nation.
The PDP said: “It is alarming and disturbing that the APC externalized to the public, their final written address in which they also threatened national peace if the Court upholds the clear provisions of Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) with regard to the mandatory and statutory requirements for which a Candidate in a Presidential election can be declared winner.
