National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, has\u00a0appealed to Nigerians<\/a>\u00a0not to trivialise the Supreme Court judgement on Imo.<\/p>\n

He said that the PDP would not join issues with those he claimed deliberately and knowingly undermined the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

Secondus spoke<\/a>\u00a0when he led party chieftains to Emeka Ihedioha\u2019s Abuja residence on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the case of Imo, we have more questions than answers because we can\u2019t see the figures adding up. These are the questions agitating our minds and the minds of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to appeal to our brothers who are on the other side, to stop trivialising these issues. They are of fundamental importance in nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cReferences are made in Sokoto, Rivers and Zamfara states. You cannot compare what happened in those states with Imo.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe other ones are intra party. Let them come out and tell us what really happened, from the Tribunal, to the Appeal court up the the Supreme court in the 388 polling units.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is what we are seeking. We are not against speaking on very respected individuals, we are saying that the figures are not adding up.\u201d<\/p>\n

He advised Ihedioha to be strong and not wary, as according to him, the truth would be revealed.<\/p>\n
