“We have tested them for two years and Nigerians are suffering. Nigerians are dying and there is insecurity everywhere. It has never been like this.This opposition will lead us to power in 2019.

“Now, we have a government and we have a party that says there will be no opposition. If there is no opposition, there will be no democracy “.

He called on Nigerians to pray for the nation’s judiciary as it is facing its most perilous times as it is under threat and intimidation.

“We owe them the duty to pray for them. What the judiciary is going through, no other arm of government has ever gone through it. Without judiciary, Nigeria is gone, without judiciary, there is no democracy “, he said.

The governor said that Nigerians from all walks of life are celebrating the Supreme Court Judgment and thanking God that PDP is not dead.
