The Katsina State chapter of the PDP says the recent judgment by the presidential election tribunal in favour of President Bola Tinubu is far from justice.
Alhaji Umar Tsauri, the former Chairman of Atiku/Lado Campaign Team, stated this in Katsina while addressing newsmen on the recent judgment.
The presidential election tribunal upheld President Tinubu’s election, and another election tribunal in Katsina also upheld those of senators and House of Representatives from the state.

Tsauri explained that, “We actually believe that judgments had been passed, but without justice, because it had been denied.
“Recently, the tribunals have concluded their assignments and passed very unfortunate judgments that did not reflect the justice Nigerians expected.
“We stand to say the judgment passed by the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has been far from justice.
“In fact we would say that what the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) did during the elections was exactly what the PEPC did to Nigeria, Nigerians and the democratic process.”

He recalled that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, had told Nigerians that the commission would use the BVAS machines to make the elections accurate, free, fair and credible.
“We in the opposition believed him and became so relaxed with full confidence and optimism that a man of integrity, in fact a professor for that matter, who built integrity and respect to protect.
“Unfortunately, the reverse was the case because all he told Nigerians turned out to be a deceit. He deceived Nigerians by doing the opposite of his utterances.
“We call on all the PDP supporters in Nigeria and Katsina to disregard the judgments delivered by the PEPC and that of the election tribunal in Katsina
“We the stakeholders, as law abiding citizens, have been compelled to agree with the judgment, but certainly not to accept it.
“We therefore, come out to say we completely reject the injustice meted in the name of tribunal judgment.” (NAN)
