*Patigi: Stop Blackmailing Judiciary over Your Tribunal Defeat, Kwara PDP Cautions APC*

*...Says APC has Become a Favourite Habitation for Certificate Forgers...*

Kwara State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has watched with dismay, the reactions of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state to the recent judgement by the Election Petitions Tribunal on Patigi bye elections into the House of Assembly in which the Tribunal sacked the APC candidate, *Hon. Ahmed Adam over issus of certificate forgery and false claims about his age.

The Kwara PDP, specifically condemns the unguarded utterances of one Alhaji Folaranmi Aro who claims to be the spokesman of Kwara APC for violating the sanctity of the courts with contemptuous vulgar words while expressing his frustration especially now that the party has now lost two seats at the House of Assembly to the opposition on similar grounds of certificate forgeries.

The PDP however hails the Tribunal judgment and urged the court not to be intimidated by any unwarranted and contemptuous attack against it by a frustrated party.

The party noted that the open display of solidarity by Kwara APC to its candidate who has been indicted for certificate forgery and age falsification suggests that the ruling party and its government are morally bankrupt and cannot see anything wrong in the criminal activities of its elected members.

"We are appalled by the illogical explanation and defence contained in the reactions of the APC to the latest verdict of the tribunal which ousted its candidate from the House of Assembly. The Kwara APC, by this open display of solidarity for such criminal activity of its members has shown that the party has become a comfort zone for petty certificate forgers and politicians with shady characters"

The Kwara PDP advises Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and his crisis ridden party to accept the reality of their self inflicted woes occasioned by their lack of credible and legally fit personalities who they fielded in the 2019 elections .

The APC seems to be unaware that it is making mockery of itself by bragging to appeal the Tribunal judgment at an appellate court. Our party and well meaning Kwarans are eagerly waiting for how the APC would be able to convince the appellate court that six is different from half a dozen.

It is crystal clear that the certificates presented by the APC candidate for the Patigi bye elections during the screening by INEC do not belong to him as the name on the documents did not tally with his other academic records. Apart from this, he had lied under oath while trying to falsify his age to force his eligibility before INEC screening committee. All these are acts capable of attracting jail terms and other stiffer punishment to the APC candidate.

"If not for the magnanimity of Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki who out of love for peace and tranquility appealed to the PDP and its gubernatorial candidate, Barrister Razak Atunwa not to push Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq certificate scandal suit further beyond the Tribunal stage, the Governor himself would have been on similar ground now. Unless he is able to bring forward his certificates before the court of law, where will Governor Abdulrazaq be today?."

"The APC should rather apologise to Kwarans for offering itself as a platform where all sort of individuals with questionable qualifications and characters could use as an avenue to get to public offices instead of shifting blames and transferring undue aggressions.
"A word is enough for the wise."
