As the Supreme Court of justice gears up to pass its verdict on the March 18, 2023 governorship election in Nasarawa state, women from the state have appealed to the apex court to remain independent of external pressures and influence while delivering its judgement.
The women, representing various organizations and civil society groups, made this demand Thursday in Abuja during a protest where they carried placards with inscriptions such as ‘Justice Uninfluenced is Justice Served’ and ‘Supreme Court of Justice our hope of survival. Save us!’ among others.
Speaking on behalf of the women, one of the coordinators, deaconess and evangelist, Lydia Cletus Auta, stressed that the people of the state came out en masse to cast their vote for David Ombugadu of the PDP.
She urged the judiciary never to be blackmailed by the use of religion, stressing the need for fairness and justice.
‘We stand here before you with heavy hearts, urging and entreating every individual who values the principles of justice and fairness to lend their voices in safeguarding the sanctity of the judicial process.’
‘It is imperative that the upcoming Supreme Court verdict be devoid of any external pressures or undue influence. The decision rendered by the highest court in the land should reflect an impartial and unbiased examination of the facts and evidence presented before it,’ she said.
