Kano Poll: PDP Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plot By APC To Shortchange Judges Of Kano Governorship Election Appeal

The Peoples Democratic Party PDP, has raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the All Progressive Congress APC and agents of Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, to influence the change of already listed judges of the Kano state Governorship Election Appeals Panel.

The party alleged that APC and Ganduje were working to replace the judges with those that have been compromised in order to influence their judgment.

The party disclosed this in a press statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday.

PDP also noted that sitting of the appeal panel has been adjourned indefinitely.

He said “The PDP alerts of moves by the APC and agents of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, to influence the change of already listed judges of the Kano state Governorship Election Appeals Panel.

“The party further alerts of plots to replace the judges with pliable ones, who have been compromised and briefed to alter justice and do the bidding of the @OfficialAPCNg and Governor Ganduje.

“The @OfficialPDPNig invites Nigerians to note that the sitting of the panel, which was moved from Monday, November 11 to Tuesday November 12, 2019 due to the public holiday on Monday, had been adjourned indefinitely.

“We have reports that this was due to pressure being mounted by the @OfficialAPCNg and agents of Governor Ganduje to alter the list of the judges.

“Our party has also been reliably informed that the indefinite adjournment was to enable the replacement of the already announced judges with pliable officials who will manipulate the judicial process in favour of the @OfficialAPCNg”

The party however, called on the leadership of the Court of Appeal not to be used for political gains.

Kola said “Our party therefore calls on the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, not to allow anybody to draw her into the arena by ensuring that the already constituted panel is not in anyway altered.”
