The PDP, at a press conference on Monday addressed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, stated that it would also tasked the apex court to take a second look at the governorship elections in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina and Osun states.The text of the press conference was tagged, “Position of the PDP on the desperation of the APC to subjugate, intimidate for the purpose of annexing the Supreme Court over Imo, Bayelsa and Zamfara governorship election judgments.”
The party said it found it “ludicrous, ridiculous and insulting to the sensibilities and respect of the Supreme Court justices for the APC to hurriedly and malevolently head to the Supreme Court to attempt to arm-twist the lord justices to effect a forceful reversal of the valid, flawless and faultless judgments on Bayelsa and Zamfara states’ governorship elections.”
The party further disclosed that it would also seek the review of the Supreme Court verdict on the Katsina governorship election petition.“The PDP equally has no choice than to ask the Supreme Court to review the Kano, Kaduna and Katsina election judgments because of manifest violence and substantial non-compliance to our electoral law. The PDP will also ask the Supreme Court to review its judgment on the Osun governorship election in view of manifest, complete and total disregard to our electoral rules in the conduct of the elections,” Ologbondiyan added.
