Social commentator, Isaac Fayose has raised concerns over the delay in the Supreme Court’s judgment on the leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress, ADC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
DAILY POST recalls that on April 22, the apex court concluded the hearing on the leadership dispute affecting the two major opposition parties and subsequently reserved judgment.
A five-member panel of the apex court, led by Justice Mohammed Garba, however, failed to announce a date for the ruling after listening to arguments in separate appeals challenging earlier decisions of the lower courts on the matter.
Six days after the conclusion of the hearing, there is growing anxiety among the 2027 aspirants in the two opposition parties, as the Supreme Court has yet to communicate a date for the judgment.
This is even as the Independent National Electoral Commission’s deadline for submission of party membership registers approaches.
Fayose, who often comments on the political situation in the country, in a video clip on his Facebook page on Wednesday, questioned the motive behind the delay.
He said, “If the judiciary is actually the last hope of a common man, the ADC and PDP judgement would have been delivered.
“Can you see the game? The president and other people are picking nomination forms in APC but they hanged the two opposition parties in the Supreme Court.
“Supreme Court adjourned on the 22nd of April but till today, where is the judgement? Nigerians are scared that you guys are not neutral anymore because of the way things are going.
“You know that INEC deadline expires any moment from now, why hanging the two major opposition parties?
“Those of you in judiciary, whatever is affecting us, will affect your extended family members. Nigerians deserve alternative to the ruling party. We can’t go into the election with one man show”.
