Emergency Rule: Supreme Court Judgment Threatens Democracy — PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised the Supreme Court’s judgment affirming the president’s powers to declare a state of emergency and suspend elected officials in any part of the country, warning that the ruling poses serious risks to Nigeria’s democracy.
In a statement issued on Monday by its spokesperson, Ini Ememobong, the party described the apex court’s decision as a “dangerous democratic bend with far-reaching implications” for federalism and constitutional governance.
While acknowledging the authority and finality of the Supreme Court, the PDP said it was compelled to highlight what it termed the grave dangers that could arise from the interpretation and application of the judgment.
According to the party, the ruling could negatively alter Nigeria’s political landscape if unchecked, especially in relation to the balance of power, democratic accountability, and the autonomy of elected state governments.
