Courts should stay away from our internal affairs - PDP

 The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked the courts to stay away from its internal affairs before they become politicians.The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ini Ememobong, made this call on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television, noting that courts are gradually becoming politicians.According to him: “Well, this verdict only shows the wisdom that my lord used in arriving at that because I’m sure that my lord cannot point to the constitution of the party anywhere where there is a national caretaker.“But again, I have tremendous respect for the court and which is why the court should stay away from the internal affairs of the party so that they don’t become politicians. But you do know that perception and reality may have divergence, but when they converge to the extent that people lose faith in a process, then something is wrong.“I’m not saying anything, but I’m simply saying that you find a situation where the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court goes to beg the Minister of the FCT for land and houses for judges of the Federal High Court. I’m not saying anything, but I’m simply saying perception. I will send you the video.“The courtesy call was public and the minister was even saying, oh, how many of you are there across different jurisdictions? Oh, we’ll start with the senior judges or the younger judges and all of that.“And incidentally, all these cases go to those people. We are not accusing them, but we are simply saying perception because it is a fundamental issue in law that justice must not just be done, but it must be seen to be done.”
