APC Rejects Tribunal Verdict on Sokoto Guber Poll

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected the verdict of the Sokoto State Election Petitions Tribunal, which declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Aminu Tambuwal, as the winner of the 2019 governorship election in the state.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the APC said it was shocked and disappointed by the tribunal's decision, which it described as "unfair, unjust, and a miscarriage of justice".

The party claimed that the tribunal's verdict was based on "flawed and compromised" proceedings, and that the judges were "influenced by external factors".

The APC also alleged that the tribunal's decision was a "clear manifestation of the PDP's desperation to cling to power at all costs".

The party vowed to appeal the verdict and seek justice at the Court of Appeal.

APC Statement on Sokoto Guber Poll Tribunal Verdict

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has received the verdict of the Sokoto State Election Petitions Tribunal with shock, disappointment, and a deep sense of injustice.

We are appalled by the tribunal's decision to declare the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Aminu Tambuwal, as the winner of the 2019 governorship election in Sokoto State. This verdict is unfair, unjust, and a miscarriage of justice.

The tribunal's proceedings were flawed and compromised, and it is clear that the judges were influenced by external factors. The decision is a clear manifestation of the PDP's desperation to cling to power at all costs.

We reject this verdict in its entirety and will not hesitate to appeal it at the Court of Appeal. We are confident that justice will be served and the truth will prevail.

The APC will not be deterred by this setback and will continue to fight for the rights of our members and the people of Sokoto State.

We urge our supporters to remain calm and peaceful, and to continue to trust in the justice system.

Signed:

Mai Mala Buni National Chairman, APC
