The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers on Tuesday hailed the Supreme Court’s verdict on Governor Nyesom Wike’s application challenging the relocation of the Rivers Election Petitions Tribunal from Port Harcourt to Abuja.
Mr. Chris FineBone, the State Publicity Secretary of the APC, said in a statement in Port Harcourt that the apex court had affirmed that the tribunal’s sitting was moved to Abuja because of insecurity reasons commending the tribunal for ensuring the safety of the tribunal chairman, members and witnesses.
As a party, the APC is grateful that all seven eminent jurists of the Supreme Court unanimously agreed that there was sufficient violence before, during and after the elections to justify the relocation of the tribunal to Abuja.
The statement said that the party was happy with the observation of the court that Rivers State was “a theatre of war’’ and as such protection of lives of members of the panel and interested parties was paramount.
The APC also noted with satisfaction that the justices for once again re-affirmed that they were always ready to dispense justice without fear or favour.
The significance of all seven eminent justices of the Supreme Court speaking in one voice in today’s judgment is that the faith, hope and confidence of the ordinary Nigerian to get justice is assured in the Nigerian judicial system.
