There is disquiet at the Plateau state PDP Secretariat opposite NTA Jos.
This is probably as a result of the supreme court decision, where the PDP application for the relisting of its appeal was dismissed this afternoon.
While some of the PDP supporters were dancing naked in the streets, in the pretext of celebrating victory at the supreme court, their bigwigs are now in a mourning mood pondering on the calamity that has befallen them .
According to reports, the party bigwigs are looking dazed and confused as to what to do in the present circumstance.
Rather than telling their unsuspecting supporters the truth about what transpired at the supreme court,some of them chose to mischievously mislead them into believing that the APC appeal was dismissed, which in actual case the APC has nothing before the Supreme court.
On commencement of sitting, lawyer to the PDP, Pius Akubo SAN, hinted the court that the PDP motion for relisting the appeal was slated for the 11th of September but was suprise that it was brought back to today.
At that point, Counsel to APC Prince Lateef Fagbemi told the court that he applied to the Chief Justice of Nigeria on the need to hear the PDP application, since it bothers on issues that were raised at election petition tribunals.
The Supreme Court then urged Fagbemi to withdraw his application and it was subsequently struck out.
Having done that, the Court then pointed out that, since it has come to that stage, there was no need to wait until the 11th September to hear the PDP motion for relisting of its appeal.
The Court then turned to the PDP lawyer Akubo,asking if he felt there was merit in his application.
Akubo taking that as a hint decided to withdraw his application, and the court subsequently dismissed his application, with a further ruling that it stands by its December 7th judgement, where it summarily dismissed the PDP appeal against the decision of the court of Appeal.
It is now settled that the judgements of Justice Kunda of the Jos High court and that of the Court of Appeal that PDP has no candidate in the state are upheld by the supreme Court.
