PDP spokesperson Kola Ologbondiyan
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as “triumph of justice” Friday’s Supreme Court judgment, dismissing the false asset declaration charges against Senate President Bukola Saraki.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, the party stated that the verdict had reinforced Nigerians’ confidence in the judiciary.
“The Court has further reinforced the confidence of Nigerian citizens in the courage of the institution of the judiciary as the temple of justice and the last hope of the common man, particularly under an oppressive regime,” Ologbondiyan said.
It added that the judgment had further supported its disposition that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration’s fight against corruption was mere shadow-chasing.
It also stated that the verdict shown that the war against corruption was a “clever attempt at blackmailing the opposition as well as anyone who held a divergent voice against the administration of the ruling party”.
