Appeal Court Judgement: Nasarawa PDP To Take Dispute To Supreme Court

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP in Nasarawa State has disagreed with the judgment of the Appeal Court, that invalidated the decision of the Election Petition Tribunal, which sacked Governor Abdullahi Sule of the APC  and declared Dr. David Ombugadu, as the duly elected governor.

This was contained in a statement signed by the State Chairman of the PDP, Francis Orogu.

He said the party has respect for the judiciary and the rule of law and firmly believes that the decision by the Court of Appeal does not align with the facts presented during the tribunal proceedings.

“Our legal team has identified significant grounds for appeal that we believe warrant a review of the judgment by the Supreme Court”. 

“Our party will be filing an appeal to the Supreme Court seeking a fair and thorough review of the judgment of the Court of Appeal. We have confidence in the legal system and are optimistic that justice will prevail”.

“The PDP in Nasarawa State remains committed to upholding the democratic process and ensuring that the voice of the people is accurately represented. 

“We continue to assert that the election results, as initially determined by the election tribunal, are a true reflection of the will of the people of Nasarawa State.

“We urge our teeming supporters, party faithful, and the general public to remain calm and maintain confidence in the democratic institutions and the judicial system of our great country. 

“The struggle for justice requires silence and patience. The PDP in Nasarawa State is resolute in its commitment to the principles of democracy and the pursuit of justice for the people,” the statement read.
