Kaduna guber: PDP rejects tribunal’s judgement, heads to Appeal Court

The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the judgement of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal affirming the election of Governor Uba Sani, saying it will seek redress at the Court of Appeal.

The Publicity Secretary of PDP in Kaduna State, Alberah Catoh, made this known in a statement on Friday, September 29, 2023.

Catoh said a review by the PDP’s lawyer on Thursday night indicated that the judgement did not meet the requirements of substantive justice.

The reaction came hours after the tribunal, sitting in Kaduna, upheld Sani’s election.

Sani contested the election under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Kaduna PDP spokesperson stressed that the verdict was not in alignment with extant electoral laws, guidelines, and regulations.

“The party has accordingly directed its lawyers to appeal the judgement at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, within the timeframe specified by law,” he added.

Catoh also urged PDP supporters in Kaduna State to “be calm and of good cheer in the belief that though the walk to justice is slow, they would reach their destination”.
