The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says judicial interventions have consistently thrown opposition political parties into internal turmoil, fracturing alternative platforms and systematically neutralizing dissent ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The PDP made this remark in a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday, frowning at what it described as the benevolent patronage of the executive arm of government by gifting ultra-modern residential quarters and court complexes to senior judges.

According to the PDP, while judicial officers undeniably deserve world-class welfare, wrapping the public projects in partisan fanfare transforms a constitutional right into a spectacle of political patronage.

“Instead of acting as a stabilizing force, judicial interventions have consistently thrown opposition political parties into internal turmoil, fracturing alternative platforms and systematically neutralizing dissent ahead of 2027.

“When the executive positions itself as a “benevolent patron” providing houses to the judges who will preside over high-stakes election petitions and constitutional disputes, the appearance of neutrality vanishes. He who pays the piper inevitably dictates the tune.

“The consequences of this cozy relationship are already playing out across Nigeria’s political landscape. The courts have increasingly mutated into a theatre of contradictory injunctions and judgments by error,” the PDP said.
