PDP expresses shock over S/Court judgment

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday expresses shock at the judgment of the Supreme Court on the Presidential election petition filed by the party and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. The party protested the dismissal of the appeal with speed by the seven judges in the panel of the apex court.

“Indeed, what we witnessed today was not what majority of Nigerians, who participated and observed the Presidential election expected; and this includes even members of the APC.

“The PDP notes that it, indeed, made a solid case, with undisputable evidence, showing that Atiku Abubakar won the Presidential election and as such is surprised that the justices of the Supreme Court held otherwise; however, that is the highest court of the land.

“Notwithstanding, the distinction of our case remains for Nigerians, including generations yet unborn, to appreciate,” PDP declared in a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary, in Abuja.

The PDP expresseds gratitude to millions of Nigerians across board for voting Atiku Abubakar in the election as well as for their unflinching support for our party during the election and throughout the duration of court proceedings.

“Nevertheless, our party, indeed the nation, awaits the justices of the Supreme Court to release their reasons behind their verdict,” the statement indicated.
