ABUJA -The Coalition for Justice in Africa, (CJA) has rejected the judgement of the Court of Appeal where various members of the Peoples Democratic Party, were sacked from the National Assembly on the basis of pre-election matters. Convener of the group, Daniel Okwa in a press conference in Abuja, alongside over one hundred pro-democracy groups described the action of the court as a rape on the country’s democracy.
The group said since pre-election matters are decided before elections, there is no locus standi under the law for it to be used to form a judgment.
