PDP links Supreme Court fire outbreak to Atiku, Obi’s appeals

There was a fire in the Supreme Court on Monday, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared it suspicious.

According to Infostride News, the fire broke out at the highest court at around 7:00 a.m. on Monday.

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has started their investigation, however the cause of the terrible tragedy is still unknown.

A statement released by the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, reacted to the news by calling it “suspicious,” citing the ongoing appeal of election proceedings before the court as evidence.

“The PDP is concerned over the fire outbreak, especially given heightened public apprehension of possible arsonist attack, with the intent to cripple and frustrate the Supreme Court from effectively discharging its constitutional duties, especially with regard to high-profile electoral cases, including the Presidential Election Appeals pending before it,” the party said in a statement.

Our faction insists on a thorough inquiry into the cause of the fire as soon as possible so that we can determine whether or not it was deliberately set.

Unlike earlier fire occurrences in various government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies that were characteristically pushed under the rug by All Progressives Congress (APC) @OfficialAPCNg administrations, the PDP maintains that the outcome of the probe should be made public.

The PDP has asked for increased security surrounding the Supreme Court and for the protection of sensitive documents and equipment at the court during this crucial period.

Remember that on February 25, both Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party appealed the tribunal’s ruling that ruled against the suit they had filed challenging President Bola Tinubu’s election.
