The Benue State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the judgment of the Governorship Tribunal affirming the election of Governor Hyacinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The party, in a statement on saturday by its state Publicity Secretary, Bemgba Iortyom, said it would seek legal redress at the Court of Appeal.
According to the statement “a review with its team of lawyers indicated that the judgment did not meet the requirements of substantive justice.”
The statement read in parts;
“After a review of the judgment with its team of lawyers, PDP believes that it does not meet the requirements of substantive justice and is 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.
“Our great party urges its teeming supporters across the state to be calm and of good cheer in the faith that though the walk to justice may be long, the goal of reclaiming the Governorship mandate will surely be achieved in the end”.
