The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has hailed the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Abuja for restraining the Code of Conduct Tribunal from proceeding with the false assets declaration case filed against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.
A statement on Thursday by CUPP Spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, described the Judiciary as the last hope of the common man.
“The Opposition sees the ruling as a victory for democracy and rule of law and a fatal blow to the APC… who are desperate to annex the Supreme Court to the list of their already destroyed national institutions.
“The Opposition coalition stands for the independence of the judiciary and will fight to protect such sacred institutions from being destroyed,” the statement reads.
