ASHENEWS reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto state says it will appeal the judgment of the state Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in the state.
The party, in a statement issued by its publicity secretary, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, urged supporters to remain calm and law-abiding.
“The People’s Democratic Party in Sokoto State wishes to express deep concern about the outcome of the just concluded case at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in the state.
“Even though the PDP is a strict respecter of the judicial process, our party is constrained to entertain serious misgivings on the ruling that has dismissed all the complaints of our party and our candidates, despite what we consider to be overwhelming evidence to prove our case.
“We assure our supporters and the people of Sokoto State that the PDP will remain committed to the struggle to retrieve their given mandate, through the only civilized instrument of the Judiciary.
“Irrespective of the Tribunal judgment, our party still regards the courts as the last hope of the common man in Nigeria. We therefore enjoin our supporters to remain steadfast in our collective pursuit of justice.”
