PDP Governors Speak On Supreme Court Ruling, Commends Makinde For Attending Meeting

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors, on Tuesday, spoke on the ruling of the Supreme Court affirming President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

The Governors after their emergency meeting in Abuja stated that the Supreme Court judgement has brought an end to the litigation on the presidential election.

Recall that the Supreme Court, last Thursday, struck out the petitions filed by the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

The Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed read the five-point communique to journalists at the Akwa Ibom Governors Lodge, where the meeting was held.

Nine of the governors attended the meeting which lasted for about an hour.

Mohammed said the forum expressed concerns about how judgements are being dispensed in Plateau State on election-related matters.

He said the governors agreed that the PDP should be strengthened as a powerful opposition party to promote democracy, good governance and accountability.

The governors, he said, requested the federal government to urgently intervene in the economy to stabilise the naira and control inflation.

Mohammed also said the governors appreciated their Oyo State colleague, Seyi Makinde, for attending the meeting.

Makinde who allegedly worked against the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 election, has not been involved in the party’s meetings.
