As the Supreme Court judgment scheduled for Tuesday, January 16, 2024, approaches, the Advocate Women for Justice (AWJ), a women’s group in Nasarawa State, passionately implores the Supreme Court judges for an impartial decision in the ongoing governorship dispute.
Mrs. Hanatu John, speaking at the party Secretariat on Jos Road on Monday, stressed the crucial need for the judges to resist external pressures. She urged, “We appeal to the judges not to yield to any form of pressure, as succumbing to such influence could tarnish the hard-earned name and reputation you have built over the years.”
The AWJ commended recent courageous judgments in Kano and Plateau states, expressing optimism for a similarly principled decision in Nasarawa State.
Jemilatu Hussaini underscored the judiciary’s role as the last hope for the common man, urging the court to consider popular votes and review BVAS records in areas where rigging allegations surfaced during the March 18 election.
Charity Samuel, expressing trust in the judiciary, stated, “I have confidence that the judges will ensure justice for the people of Nasarawa State, bringing back peace, unity, and development to the state.”
The dispute centers around Mr. David Ombugadu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) contesting the victory of Gov. Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 18 governorship election. The women’s group continues its peaceful protests, advocating for a fair and just resolution.
