Plateau PDP Youth Wing Rejects Tribunal Verdict On National, State Houses Of Assembly

PDP rejects National, State Houses of Assembly Election tribunal verdict, says judgment against facts, evidence inciting over structure .

The Plateau State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Youth Wings have rejected the verdict of the election petition tribunal over the issue of structure that the party doesn’t have a valid excuse to nominate and sponsor a candidate.

The tribunal struck out the various petitions filed by the PDP and its candidate, in Plateau Southern Senatorial District, Plateau North on ground 1 of lack of structure which is a biased judgment tantamount to plunging the state into anarchy on a peaceful election held on the February 25th.

In a unanimous decision, the three-man panel of justices led by Bello Mohammed Tukur held that PDP failed to comply with an order of the court.

The tribunal also ruled that all votes cast for the PDP were wasted votes and went ahead to disqualify the PDP from contesting the election on account of frivolous allegations of nomination and sponsorship.

The party youth wing “unequivocally” reject the judgment in “its entirety” by calling on the judicial counsel to beam its searchlight on the Plateau State Election Tribunal and correct the abnormalities ravaging the petitions.

“The judgment is against reason, against the facts and evidence presented in court, against the relevant Electoral Laws, Guidelines and Regulations as well as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended),” we appeal to all a sundry to intervene and safe our democracy.

“Indeed, the judgment is generous in technicalities and very short in delivering substantial justice in the matter of Congresses held in Plateau state chapter on the 25th September ,2021  by National Working Committee ,NWC , and monitored by INEC is disappointment

We want the world to know that what the Bello Mohammed Tukur panel is planning as youth wings of party we vehemently reject that decision.

As law abiding citizens, we call on the judicial commission to sanction the action of the jurists for their action perverse Justice.

We appealing to all PDP supporters in Plateau State to remain resolute and go about their legitimate businesses and await the out of the appeal court judgment were we will   reclaim back our stolen mandate .

Thanks for your cooperation

As we go about pursuing justice against enemy of democracy in Plateau State .
