The All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasarawa State chapter, has rejected the tribunal judgement which nullified the election of its candidate, Governor Abdullahi Sule and declared David Umbugadu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the March 18th gubernatorial poll.
The chairman of the party, Aliyu Bello, while addressing a press conference on Wednesday, expressed the party’s full support for Sule’s intention to appeal the tribunal’s judgment at the Court of Appeal.
Bello maitained that, in the party’s view, the tribunal had made a significant error in arriving at its decision.
“It is the candid and considered opinion of our great party, the APC, that the election tribunal erred in arriving at its decision,” stated Bello.
He further stressed that the party is in alignment with the dissenting judgement, pointing that it is based on law, facts and logic.
“We are therefore in awe as to how the tribunal arrived at its decision,” he added.
The state party chairman also urged residents of Nasarawa State, especially the party’s supporters, to remain calm and patient, assuring them that Sule would diligently pursue the appeal through legal channels.
