Ologunagba noted that “the PDP and Atiku Abubakar have a watertight Petition. Our facts and body of evidence are incontrovertible. Our Party restates its confidence in the ability of the Judiciary to discharge its Constitutional duty dispassionately based on the evidence before it”.
He said “The PDP and its Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, appreciated Nigerians, the Media, Civil Society, and all lovers of democracy for their solidarity and support in the bid to retrieve the Presidential mandate freely given to our Party at the February 25, 202,3 Presidential election. The PDP calls on Nigerians to remain alert, informed, and law-abiding as they commence this crucial phase in the quest to rescue, rebuild and redirect the nation.”
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has congratulated the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, over his victory at the Supreme Court which upheld his election as the duly elected Governor of the State at the July 16, 2023 Governorship poll.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba said “the verdict of the Supreme Court, serves as the ultimate triumph of the will of the people of Osun State as expressed at the Polling Units, in their resolve to free their State from oppressive, retrogressive and anti-people forces.”
He noted that the judgment of the Supreme Court has further restored the confidence Nigerians repose in the institution of the Judiciary and the hope for the sustenance of democracy in the country.
The PDP commended the Supreme Court for its courage in upholding justice and reaffirming the saying that “the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man.”
