Why PDP Should Not Appeal Tribunal Judgement- APC Chieftain

Chieftains of All Progressives Congress (APC), the Kaduna State ruling party have urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not initiate the process of appealing the tribunal judgement which upheld Governor Nasir El-rufai’s reelection.

Naija News reports that the chieftains in the state advised the leading opposition party to rather go and prepare for the 2023 general elections rather than ‘wasting time and resources to appeal the tribunal judgement.

The chieftains made the call on Saturday in the Igabi LGA of Kaduna state while celebrating Governor El-Rufai’s victory at the tribunal.

While speaking at the occasion celebrating the victory of El-Rufai, the former House of Representatives member, Hon. Ibrahim Bello Rigachikun, said the PDP petition was thrown out of the tribunal both in Kaduna governorship and the presidential elections.

According to him; “In the court of law, if you don’t have any substance, there is no need to fight. So, the PDP don’t have a case, they should just go and start preparing for 2023, instead of wasting their time to appeal the tribunal judgement.”

Similarly, the aspirant of the House of Representatives in the 2015 general elections and convener of the event, Hajia Rabi Salisu, said they chose to celebrate because Governor El-Rufai had in 100 days started fulfilling his campaign promises.

“Our governor is a leading example because he is the first governor in this whole federation to start the implementation of the N30, 000 minimum wage, when others are still foot dragging. Even if it is this minimum wage alone, he is supposed to be celebrated nationwide not even Kaduna State alone,” she said.

While speaking further, Hajia Rabi called on the people of Kaduna State, including the opposition, to team up with the aim of supporting the government of Governor El-Rufai. This she said will enable him deliver more dividends of democracy to the people.
