The party national spokesman, Hon Debo Ologungaba, said the award of cost by the Appeal Court against the Appellants in favour of Dr. Asue Ighodalo and other respondents is an emphatic judicial rebuke against frivolous and vexatious court proceedings aimed at frustrating the outcome of a legally conducted democratic exercise of a political party.
The PDP described the judgment as “another landmark ruling which further strengthens democratic practice, validates the credibility of PDP nomination process and reinforces the Will and aspiration of the people of Edo State as embodied in the candidature of Dr. Asue Ighodalo.”
Ologungaba, in a statement, said the earlier verdict of a High Court and reaffirmation by the Appeal Court upholding Ighodalo’s candidacy, stop a ploy “designed to distract the PDP and frustrate the aspiration of the people of Edo State.”
