Members of the House of Representatives elected on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, platform, have vowed to stand together to fight anti-democratic forces desperate to subvert Nigeria\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

This was contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuma Onyema, and issued to reporters on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The PDP Caucus condemned the forceful suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria ,CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The statement read, \u201dIt is no surprise that within a short while, President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s unprecedented unilateral replacement of Justice Walter Onnoghen with Justice Tanko Mohammed has reverberated so loudly across the world; so has news of how Onnoghen\u2019s residence was unjustifiably blanketed by forces of coercion during the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe note too, that the United Kingdom, the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) and the United States have joined their voices with that of credible and progressive Nigerian democrats, legal professionals and civil society in expressing very deep concerns over the constitutionality or lack thereof, of the Presidency\u2019s suspension of the chief officer of the judicial arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith less than 20 days to the presidential and National Assembly election and with few hours to the constitution of election tribunal judges done on Saturday, the APC\/Buhari administration has unequivocally shown its determination to use sleight of hand methods in forcing an election win by all undemocratic means possible.<\/p>\n
