The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Wednesday denied that it procured the Supreme Court judgement that resolved its internal tussle for power, just as describes the party as representing  the true coalition of Nigerians from across the country.

 Further  debunking another allegation levelled against it by former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the PDP maintained  that its experience in governance and successful rebound from challenges has provided it an edge over every other existing or intended political platforms in Nigeria.

 Former President  Obasanjo in his letter advising President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019.  Besides dismissing  both APC and PDP as having the capacity to lead Nigeria out of the doldrums, Obasanjo further make series of scathing, negative remarks against PDP.

 However, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement argued that  Obasanjo’s claim on procurement of judgement amounts to an ill-intended attempt to impugn on the integrity of the Supreme Court, particularly when such a claim is false and not predicated on any empirical proof.

 The party said that the ruling of the Supreme Court, which ended the protracted internal feud within its fold, rather than detract, reinforced the confidence of Nigerians in the PDP as the platform that truly embodies the resilience of a genuine democratic process in the face of daunting challenges.

 It further said that even the worst critics of PDP concede that the judgment of the Supreme Court, was unprejudiced, uninfluenced and determined completely on merit, for which it was applauded in Nigeria and across the world.

 Also, the conduct of our December 2017 elective National Convention in a transparent, free and fair manner and where nobody was ‘kingmaker,’ denotes the democratic credential of the repositioned PDP to deliver credible primaries that would yield a presidential candidate Nigerians desire.

 Stressing that there is an extensive dissimilarity between it and the All Progressives Congress (APC), the PDP noted that while it remains nationally populist and development-driven, the APC by orientation and composure is arrogant, inept and anti-people, hence the nationwide detestation against it.

 It said unlike the APC, where a very few individuals from within a circle control the instrument of power and governance, the PDP said it remains that egalitarian platform where all Nigerians are free to express themselves, politically engage and freely aspire for any office without regard to divisive considerations.
