Presidential Tribunal: “Governors' position, the best decision - PDP Youths Vanguard
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
youths yesterday commended the governors for throwing their weight behind the
decision of the party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to challenge
the judgement of the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal (PEPT), on the
Atiku-Buhari case bordering on the 2019 Presidential Elections.
The youths, under the aegis of PDP
South South Youths Vanguard noted that the governors' position was the best
decision at this point in time that PDP and Atiku are challenging the case at
the Supreme Court.
The PDP Governors, under the aegis of
PDP Governors Forum, had in a statement on Sunday said, that the judgement
stood justice on its head, and if not challenged at the apex court may
constitute a hog in the wheel of "our developing democracy."
The governors, which also said that
they are hopeful that the Supreme Court will do justice to the case, had added
that the judgment is nothing but "wrong signals to our teeming youths and
laying a faulty moral foundation for
generations of Nigerians yet unborn."
Commending the governors yesterday for
standing behind the party and Atiku, the PDP Youths, in a statement by its
National Chairman, James Efe Akpofure said that it was obvious that the
governors were on the side of the people.
"For this singular action, the
PDP governors have shown that they are behind the party and its Presidential
Candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
"The governors have also
demonstrated their loyalty to the party, that all avenues available must be
exhausted before congratulatory messages can be sent to the winner at the
Supreme Court.
"The governors have also
demonstrated their resolve that there is hope that the Supreme Court will look
into all the loopholes neglected by the Tribunal and do the right," the
youths said.
The PDP Youths Vanguard therefore,
calls on the party stakeholders to take a cue from the governors and give maximum
support to the party and its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
