wpid-img_20150209_132948.jpgThe Peoples Democratic Party has congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan over Tuesday’s Court of Appeal ruling, which upheld his eligibility to contest the 2015 Presidential election.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Tuesday, said the ruling was a positive step towards Jonathan’s impending overwhelming victory at the polls come March 28, 2015.

Metuh described the verdict as a “victory for democracy and the rule of law especially in protecting the inalienable rights of eligible citizens to freely participate in the electoral process without any form of hindrance”.

He said the judgment has helped to enrich the judiciary and further deepened the nation’s democratic evolution.

The ruling party also applauded President Jonathan for always remaining focused and upholding democratic principles, which enable Nigerians to operate in an environment that allows for full expression of fundamental rights.

Commending the judiciary for its stabilizing role in the polity, the PDP urged its members and supporters across the country to unite and stand on the platform of this judicial victory to intensify efforts for eventual electoral victory for the president and other candidates of the party in the general elections.
