PDP Blast Oshiomole, Warn To Steer Clear Of Bayelsa State

Tribunal will today gives its verdict on the petition filed by PDP and its candidate for challenging the 2019 presidential elections.

APC,PDP have said that they are both sure of victory.

 

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja will on Wednesday deliver judgment in the case filed by the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, challenging the result of the 2019 presidential election.

According to a senior member of the petitioners’ legal team, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), confirmed to ekohotblog that the hearing notice for the judgment was served on lawyers representing the parties to the case on Tuesday.

“I can confirm to you that the judgment will be delivered 9am on Wednesday,” he said.

Ozekhome (SAN) expressed hope that his clients’ case would succeed.

He said, “My expectation, like the majority of Nigerians and international observers, is that the petition will succeed. This is because the petitioners have proved their case. The evidence was overwhelming and it was clear to everyone that the respondents had no defence. The judiciary will be courageous and bold to deliver justice.”

In response,the APC National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu said that the party was expecting victory because the PDP’s petition lacked substance.

He said, “We are expecting nothing short of victory. The PDP only helped us to prove our case beyond reasonable doubt. Their petition turned out to be a noise and lacks substance.

“We presented certificate from Cambridge and WAEC which they could not fault. They couldn’t bring anything from Cambridge and WAEC to say what we presented was fake.

“The results they submitted upon which they wanted the court to award them victory were contradictory. They simply don’t have a case.

Meanwhile, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Diran Odeyemi, on Tuesday said that the party members were of high hopes that the tribunal would declare Atiku as the winner of the election.

Odeyemi said, “We expect the judiciary as the last hope of the common man to dispense justice more so as Atiku has proved his case beyond any reasonable doubt and declare him the winner of the election.”
