The National Chairman of the All\nProgressive Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday declared that\nPresident Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will defeat\nthe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku\nAbubakar, if they decide to go to the world court or Supreme Court to challenge\nthe ruling of the tribunal on the last Presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Presidential Election\nPetitions Tribunal had on Wednesday delivered judgment in favour of President\nBuhari as winner of February 2019 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oshiomhole spoke with State House\ncorrespondents when he accompanied APC women leaders from the national, zonal\nand 36 states of the federation to meet with President Buhari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women leaders were led to the\nState House by women leader, Hajia Salamatu Umar-Eluma, to congratulate the\nPresident on his victory at Wednesday\u2019s election tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were also in the villa to\nthank President Buhari for appointing seven women among the 43 ministers\nrecently sworn in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oshiomhole was optimistic that no\nsurprise will come out from the Supreme Court as they are most likely to\nrelying on the Appeal court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said \u201cWe as a party we are\nconfident that if it is within the Nigerian law for PDP to go even to the world\ncourt, we will meet them there. The Supreme Court of Nigeria is not that of PDP\nor the APC, the Supreme Court is governed by law and is to interpret the\nevidence before the court of Appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018They are not at liberty to\nintroduce new issues neither can they bring in new witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, if it is what I heard\nyesterday which I believe you also heard, thanks to the media, most Nigerians\nwere detained for eight hours listening to arguments of the judges one after\nthe other. Even though we thought it was getting longer and longer but we\nrealised that they tried to deal with the issues raised, even the ones you and\nI as a layman will consider it consequential, they dealt with each of them,\ntrashed them and arrived at a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, I don\u2019t want to sound\narrogant. Yesterday (Wednesday), I said that I hope this whole contestation is\nabout Nigeria who actually won the election and both parties are committed to\nbuilding Nigeria and is not about who should be given the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, this has been resolved and\nit is time to queue behind the winner and move on. Our winner is the best\nexample that losing election is not tantamount to the end of your political\nlife. He lost three and today he is the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut, when I see the arrogance\nwith which they pronounce and they bring what I call television lawyers, who\npronounced with some managerial finality as if they are judges even without any\nevidence before them, let me now say authoritatively, we are now ready to meet\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresident Buhari is now ready to\nmeet defeated Atiku Abubakar at the Supreme Court and the APC is ready to meet\nthe PDP at the Supreme Court and Adams Oshiomhole is ready to meet my brother\nSecondus at the Supreme Court and he will take second and I will take first,\nIsha Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He insisted that they were not in\ndoubts that victory will be theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the PDP just\nseems to blackmail every institution so that their candidate can become the\npresident even if it is not the will of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said both the PDP and its presidential candidate reduced the election to social media speculations and bringing sources that are laughable even at beer parlour conversations <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
