Isaac, the younger brother of the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has slammed the Supreme Court over the delay in delivering judgments on the leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It was recalled that the apex court on April 22 wrapped up the hearing on the leadership tussle between the two major opposition parties and reserved judgment.
But the apex court’s five-member panel headed by Justice Mohammed Garba failed to fix a date for the ruling after hearing arguments in separate appeals against earlier decisions of the lower courts on the matter.
But the 2027 hopefuls of the two opposition parties are raising concerns over the delay in the judgment of the Supreme Court as the deadline of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the submission of party membership registers draws near.
Reacting to the development, Fayose, in a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, queried the motive behind the delay while President Bola Tinubu and other APC aspirants are picking up nomination forms.
Fayose said Nigerians cannot go into the election with only one presidential candidate.
“If the judiciary is really the last hope of a common man, the ADC and PDP judgment would have been delivered, he said.
“See the game? The president and others are collecting nomination forms in APC but they hanged the two opposition parties in the Supreme Court.
“Supreme Court adjourned on April 22 till today where is the judgement? Nigerians are scared that you guys are no longer neutral the way things are going.
“You know the INEC deadline is close at hand, why are you holding the two major opposition parties?
“Whatever is affecting us in judiciary, will affect your extended family members. Nigerians deserve an alternative to ruling party. “We cannot go into the election with a one man show”.
