Senate Majority Leader, Ahmed Lawan, on Wednesday said that the ruling by the Supreme Court was an indication that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government believed in separation of powers.
He claimed that most court rulings during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan were written in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Lawan, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said this in reaction to the Supreme Court ruling which confirmed Ahmed Makarfi as the legitimate PDP leader.
Lawan, however, maintained that the formr ruling party will continue to remain in “diaspora”.
He said, “Nigerians overwhelmingly and massively took out PDP from the running of this country and PDP will remain in diaspora. All the same, we want to congratulate Nigerians for the kind of judgement that the supreme court gave under this administration.
“During PDP administration, most of the court judgments were written in the villa. This goes to show that this administration believes in separation of powers and believes that our judiciary should remain and continue to be free in what they do.”
