The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said yesterday’s concluding judgment of the Supreme court on whether the All Progressives Congress (APC) can field candidates in governorship, national and state assembly elections in Rivers state, has vindicated them, the Governor, Nyesom Wike and the people of the state.
The party added that the resoluteness of the Supreme court in upholding justice and resisting what it called manipulations by APC leaders to revisit the issue of APC primaries in the state, which were annulled by the lower courts, has brought respite to Nigerians and further restored their confidence in the institution of the judiciary.

PDP national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said the spontaneous public jubilation that trailed the concluding judgment attests to this.
He added in a statement that “The judgment signifies the final triumph of the will of the people over the manipulative forces in APC, who have been deploying all manner of underhand dealings and violence, in their desperation to forcefully take over the control of the state.”
The party further charged the APC leaders to note that they have come to the end of the road and that though evil may thrive for a moment, truth, justice and the will of the people will always prevail.
The PDP also expressed confidence that just as the will of the people of Rivers state has been preserved, its Presidential mandate, which “Nigerians freely gave to Atiku Abubakar on February 23, 2019, but brazenly stolen by the APC, will also be retrieved at the tribunal,” the statement said.
