In a statement released on September 23, 2023, the PDP conveyed its disappointment with the tribunal’s decision, emphasizing that it failed to meet the criteria of substantive justice and was inconsistent with prevailing electoral laws, regulations, and guidelines. The party is resolute in its pursuit of justice and has directed its legal team to initiate the appeal process in accordance with the specified legal timeframe.
