Allow Judiciary To Function, Ajadi Tells Federal Government
The Governorship Candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP) in the March 2023 election in Ogun State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has cautioned the Federal Government not to interfere with the functions of the judiciary, but instead allow it to function effectively as expected in a democratic government.
He said that the federal government should not cow the judiciary, saying that they should realise that Nigeria should not be turned the state into a state of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with no functioning opposition parties.
Ajadi said in a statement after paying solidarity visit to the Kano state Governor, Abba Yusuf over a Court of Appeal judgement which nullified his election last Friday, that a democracy tolerates oppositions and that without a credible opposition, democracy cannot thrive.
He said the APC is too desperate to control all states in Nigeria, hence their resort to push the judiciary to achieve their aim of foisting on the country, a one party system.
“Last week, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar warned the nation on the plan of the ruling APC to turn the country to a one – party state.
“He also called for a merger of opposition parties against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Atiku said this becomes necessary as he warned that Nigeria’s democracy is “fast becoming a one-party system” and noted that the project of protecting democracy in the country is not about just one man.
“I agree with Alhaji Atiku and want all other statesmen to rise up and caution the APC not to turn the country to a place, where they pocket everything.
On the judgement against Kano Governor, Abba Yusuf, Ajadi said “His Excellency, Governor Abba Yusuf should remain calm, as this judgement cannot stand the test of time.
“I also pledged with our presidential candidate, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwakwanso to remain calm and urged our supporters nationwide to remain calm.
“The people of Kano know that our party is the leading party in the state and this has been demonstrated in the other elections.
“NNPP has the highest members of the State Assembly, highest members of the National Assembly from the state and we are with the grassroots,” he said.
