ANAMBRA, Nigeria -Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to impress on Justice O.A Nwabunike of the Anambra state High Court to release the case file and copies of his judgment on the Senator Ugochukwu Uba Versus PDP and others.
The party in a statement issued by it’s National Publicity Secretary Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan and made available to news men in Awka Anambra state said the judge had refused to release his judgment for study to frustrate the party in the case .
PDP also said Justice Nwabunike, had remained adamant in withholding the documents, in his desperate bid to frustrate and distract the PDP and its candidate, in the Anambra state governorship election, Valentine Ozigbo.
The party also added that the motive of the judge for seizing the documents is aimed at frustrating the notices of appeal filed by the PDP and her candidate against his aberrant judgment, knowing that such black-market judgment cannot stand in appeal.
“Our party cautions Justice Nwabunike not to continue to test the will of the generality of the people of Anambra, whose mandate, being expressed in our candidate, Valentine Ozigbo, is being undermined, as such may trigger serious crisis in the state.
It is indeed indefensible, that a court judge is bent at causing crisis in Anambra state and we call on Nigerians and the people of Anambra to hold Justice Nwabunike directly responsible should there be any breakdown of law and order in the state” he said .
He also stated that PDP will not be deterred or distracted by Justice Nwabunike and an individual, who did not even participate in our primary, as they cannot stop the people of Anambra state and our candidate, Valentine Ozigbo, from emerging victorious in the election.
