Supreme Court Judgment: It is not yet dancing time for PDP – Ex-Rivers lawmaker

Former Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Leyi Kwanee has said the Supreme Court Judgement in favour of Senator Ahmed Markafi on the leadership tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is not worth celebrating.

Kwanee in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt said the judgement has no effect on the fortunes of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He said it will take a long time for Nigerians to recover from the damage of the PDP on the country’s economy.

The former lawmaker who represented Khana in the seventh Rivers state House of Assembly also said the PDP has continued it perceived abysmal performance in Rivers state.

“PDP is in a state of comatose. It is cancerous and it does not have the ability to take any serious minded politician into victory.

“The judgement of the Supreme Court goes to no issue. It does not deplete the political fortunes of the APC in any way both in Rivers state and at the centre.

“When somebody has a terminal ailment and you give him a little shot of an injection it gives a temporal relieve. The Judgment is just like temporal relieve because it has not taken away the cancer in the PDP.

“It is not yet dancing time for the PDP and i will advice them not to roll out the drums,” he said.

Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party.
