PDP rejects tribunal judgment in Kaduna, set to appeal

Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the judgment of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal affirming the election of Governor Uba Sani of All Progressives Congress (APC), saying it will seek redress at the Court of Appeal.
  
Publicity Secretary of Kaduna PDP, Alberah Catoh, said, last night, that a review with its team of lawyers indicated that the judgment did not meet the requirements of substantive justice.
  
The reaction came hours after the tribunal sitting in Kaduna upheld Sani’s election. It further argued that the verdict was not in alignment with extant electoral laws, guidelines and regulations.
  
“The party has accordingly directed its lawyers to appeal the judgment at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, within the timeframe specified by law,” the statement added. 
  
The party urged its teeming supporters across the state to be calm and of good cheer in the belief that though the walk to justice is slow, they would reach their destination.
