PDP Links The Fire Outbreak At the Supreme court to Atiku and Obi's Petitions

The Monday morning fire incident at the Supreme Court was deemed suspicious by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Around seven in the morning on Monday, a portion of the supreme court caught fire.

Although the cause of the terrible tragedy is still unknown, an investigation has been launched by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.

In response, the PDP said the move was suspicious in a statement released by its national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, citing the appeal of electoral concerns currently pending in court.

The declaration reads,"The PDP is worried 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.

"Our party demands an immediate full-scale investigation into the fire outbreak with the view to unravelling the circumstances or possible sabotage in the incident.

"The PDP insists that the outcome of the investigation should be made public unlike those of previous fire incidents in various government Ministries, Departments and Agencies which were characteristically swept under the carpet by the All Progressives Congress (APC) @OfficialAPCNg administrations.

"While calling on the Federal Government to beef up security around the Supreme Court, the PDP also demands that Nigerians be assured of the safety of sensitive documents and equipment at the court, especially at this critical time."

Recall that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party in the most recent election, and Atiku Abubakar, his rival from the PDP, recently appealed the tribunal's decision over the lawsuit they both filed on February 25 challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu.
