| The Green Chamber, Nigeria's House of Representatives. |
The Minority Caucus of the House
of Representatives has assured that the judgment of the Supreme Court on the
petition by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar, on the February 23 presidential election will not deter the
opposition in its constitutional role of ensuring checks and balances in the
system.
House Minority Leader, Hon.
Ndudi Elumelu, in a statement on Wednesday, noted that the judgment was
surprising to many Nigerians but pointed out that the Supreme Court is the
highest court in the land, which makes its decision final.
Elumelu however assured that the
development will not detract them from the commitment and determination of the
opposition in the House of Representatives to always protect the interest of
Nigerians by ensuring accountability, equity, fairness and strict adherence to
the rule of law in all aspects of governance.
He also commended Nigerians for
standing with the PDP throughout the litigation process and assured that all
hope is not lost, as the opposition will continue to insist on due process as
well as propagate alternatives on programmes and policies in the general
interest of the citizens.
