A political activist and former Depyty National Publicity Secretary of
\nthe All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has advised the
\nChairman of the\u00a0 Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption
\n(PACAC) and Professor of Law, Mr. Itse Sagay (SAN), not to kill himself
\nover the Supreme Court’s judgement on Zamfara and Rivers States
\nrespectively.<\/p>\n
Frank also enjoined the Professor to appeal the rulings at the court of
\nGod if he is not satisfied with the court’s pronouncements instead of
\nbeating war drums capable of provoking anarchy in the country.<\/p>\n
Prof. Sagay on Thursday had urged the APC’s legal team to apply to the
\nSupreme Court for a review of its judgement on Zamfara and Rivers
\nstates.<\/p>\n
In Rivers, the APC was excluded from fielding candidates during the
\ngeneral elections following a Supreme Court’s ruling.<\/p>\n
In the case of Zamfara, the Supreme Court last week nullified APC’s
\nparticipation in the General elections due to non-conduct of the
\nmandatory primaries and gave victory to the Peoples Democratic Party
\n(PDP) – the party with the highest votes after APC.<\/p>\n
However, the Bayelsa-born Political Activist in his reaction through a
\nstatement on Friday in Abuja, warned that if Sagay is not urgently
\ncalled to order by his minders, his statement is capable of negatively
\noverheating the polity because the Supreme Court is the highest court of
\nthe land.<\/p>\n
“At his age and level of experience, Sagay should learn to\u00a0 stand by the
\ntruth instead of twisting the law for selfish ends. Sagay cannot claim
\nto be more learned\u00a0 or more patriotic than the Justices of the Supreme
\nCourt. Therefore, asking the apex court to attempt to reverse itself is
\nto court chaos.<\/p>\n
“The Supreme Court has ruled fairly and justly concerning Zamfara and
\nRivers states; and the judgement made Nigerians proud and hopeful that
\nthere is still hope for the nation’s democracy despite the shenanigans
\nwe saw in the last general elections.<\/p>\n
“The Supreme Court has demonstrated once agin that the Judiciary\u00a0 is
\ntruly the last hope of the common man. Sagay’s position on issues
\nconcerning the aforementioned cases is irrelevant being an APC chieftain
\nwho is known to lie profusely by twisting the law to suit his selfish
\nintents.<\/p>\n
“Fortunately, Nigerians know his antics and no longer take him
\nseriously.\u00a0 So, if he does not like the judgements, let him appeal to
\nGod.”<\/p>\n
According to the activist, “whenever a court’s judgement is not in
\nfavour of the APC, it is miscarriage of justice but when it favours APC
\n– even if\u00a0 unconstitutional means were used to procure it –\u00a0 it is trues
\njustice.<\/p>\n
“Does Sagay not understand the law? Is he no longer a follower of the
\nlaw? Has he been a bad influence on our illegal President who stole the
\npeople’s mandate during the last presidential election?<\/p>\n
“With people like Sagay advising the government, things can only get
\nworse.”<\/p>\n
