 PDP reacts to Appeal Court Judgement on Four Reps member Elections

The Sokoto State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has conveyed its contentment with the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, which upheld the election victories of four party members in the House of Representatives.

The party’s satisfaction was conveyed in a statement issued by Hassan Sayinnawal, the state party spokesman, and made available to journalists on Saturday

The statement reads, “Our great party, the PDP in Sokoto State, wishes to express our joy over the victory of the party’s candidates in the 2023 National Assembly election at the Appeal Court of Nigeria.

“We wish to congratulate the following members of the PDP for having their mandate upheld at the end of the legal process.

” Mani Katami – Binji Silame Federal Constituency; Abdussamad Dasuki – Kebbe – Tambuwal Federal Constituency; Sa’idu Bargaja:- Isa – Sabon-Birni Federal Constituency and Bashir Gorau – Goronyo Gada Federal Constituency.

“The PDP views this development as proof of the confidence and support that the teeming electorate of Sokoto State repose in our party and its candidates and the preference of the masses of our dear state for our purposeful, progressive philosophy of governance.

“Our party enjoins the people to sustain their support for our shared lofty ideals and the confidence that their mandate, which was clearly expressed in the 2023 elections, will be salvaged and upheld through the ongoing judicial processes at all levels.”

The Court of Appeal’s recent rulings brought positive outcomes for the Sokoto State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In the Binji/Silame Federal Constituency, the court declared Mani Katami, the PDP candidate, as the rightful winner of the 2023 general elections, replacing the candidate of the All Progressives Congress who had been initially declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Additionally, on the same day, the court affirmed the election victories of Abdulsamad Dasuki and Bashir Gorau, representing the Kebbe/Tambuwal and Gada/Goronyo federal constituencies, respectively.

Furthermore, the court announced Saidu Bargaja, the PDP candidate, as the winner for the Isa/Sabon Birmi federal constituency, succeeding the late Honourable Abdukadir Jelani Dambuga, who held the seat until his passing due to a brief illness about two months ago.

In a separate development, the Court of Appeal, on the same day, declared the election of Umar Yabo, another PDP member representing the Yabo/Shagari federal constituency, inconclusive. The court ordered a rerun in 26 polling units within the constituency.
