Alhaji Atiku Yabo, who is the youth leader of the PDP North-West zone that consist Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi state’s, said that as members of the party in the zone, they agree with the position of the Katsina state branch to officially ignore the decisions that have been made.

where he continued as saying that the main thing they are looking for is to ensure truth and justice.

The presence of the court is the last stage that every citizen expects to receive justice when he complains, so it is necessary to confirm this in order to give peace and tranquility to the people every time a matter goes to court.  arrest someone or many people.

“Of course, as members of the PDP party, we have been giving all our contributions and everything we can do to see it progress and succeed in the previous elections.  The happy thing happened in the party, similarly if the sad thing happened, we must show our anger if the members of the party were treated inappropriately, especially when the election was held and we achieved success as  We got members of the Federal Assembly, which is a victory that seems to have been done in Katsina State, even though during the last election, President Muhammadu Buhari was the President of Nigeria and it was in his State that victory was achieved, but then the PDP and its brothers were treated like this.  wanted in the court to hear the election case, we really do not accept that, that is what happened in the court that everyone who is intelligent knows that this is what it is said that the mother at the foot of Murhu will not be able to tell.”

Atiku Yabo, who was the leader of the youth in the region, emphasized that as young people, the only thing they care about is to have a good political future that everyone will be proud of, especially among the politicians and if the people express themselves.  their opinion, that is, what they need, to be sure of what they have chosen without any doubt or doubt, which is the order and provisions of Democracy.

The democratic government is a matter for the people to choose those they need as their representatives or leaders at all levels provided by the law of the land.

Because of this, it is not right that the court was established to protect the rights of the people and it was a place to create disabilities or to restrict some people who do not have a government and in a country like Nigeria which is a role model.  in the entire continent of Africa.

With this, we as those who have the right to vote and stand for our election, we inform the public that they should continue to keep an eye on the political affairs and the cases of the courts hearing election cases at all levels.  And we are making a loud call to all the courts here to ensure the implementation of truth and justice for every case that they will do in the community as a whole because everyone who stands was elected by the voters of all citizens.  and no one is better than another in the face of the law of the land as it is clearly written.

In their re action the Katsina state people Democratic party (PDP) revealed thatStakeholders of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Katsina State have rejected the both verdicts for presidential and National election tribunal while describing it as rape of democracy.

Senator Ibrahim Tsauri in a press conference, spoke on behalf of the stakeholders said the judgments did not reflect the justice the Nigerians expected hence the outright rejection.

“We actually believe that judgments have been passed, but without justice because it has been denied.

According to Tsauri, the Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Tsammani, during his inaugural speech told Nigerians that his tribunal would be different from the previous tribunals because they will not base their judgments on technicalities but on facts while they believed him

“Our Lawyers wasted much of their professional and judicial times bringing documents and witnesses to prove their cases. Unfortunately, the learned justice successfully wasted 12 and half hours reading judicial English without judicial facts and justice. They ended up passing judgment not even on technicalities but on collective personal interest.

“Coming to the tribunal in Katsina State, the same patterns and plans have been in place.

“Every right thinking person in Katsina State knew how the election of 25th February, 2023 were conducted.

“There were uncountable number of electoral malpractices. The Federal Government then brought the cash squeeze to the opposition parties, and gave the cash to the ruling party. Material inducements, vote buying, victimization, intimidation of Civil Servants and many more were done to scare and made people vote for the ruling party”, he noted.

The stakeholders also accused government for threatening traditional rulers in the State to rig election or be shown way out of their stools.

“In most of the polling units traditional rulers were directed to deliver or face the full wrath of their superiors.

“In some polling units election could not hold due to insecurity in the units. There was tentative agreement between the political parties (IPAC), INEC and even the candidates, that security should be first. There was agreement that elections in the affected polling units could not be possible because of the high risk involved.

“After the elections in the safe areas and polling units, our candidates won and even sworn in. To our surprise the tribunal ruled that elections should be conducted in those polling units. What a misplacement of justice!

“Two of our members were given red card by the tribunal based on technicality. The Appeal Court, in its ruling on President Tinubu’s credentials, rules that credentials are secondary and is a pre-election judicial matter, but with Katsina tribunal it is not the case because 2 of our Honourable members were denied justice because of their primary school certificates, what a pity!

“Two of our Senators who approached the tribunal with convincing proofs and evidences were shown the way out by the tribunal because of pure judicial injustice.

“What the learned judges gave as reasons were never legal but personal without referring to any quoted legal interpretation.

“We call on all the PDP supporters in Nigeria and Katsina State to disregard the judgments without justice delivered by the PEPC and Katsina State election tribunal.

“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.

The PDP is studying the judgement passed by the tribunal against our senatorial candidates, and all other options as outlined by law will be exhausted, in sha Allah.

As for the House of Representatives, we are categorical to tell all our teaming supporters that the judgments will be appealed

“Gentlemen, we conclude that, the way democracy is being operated in Nigeria, if at all we call it democracy, we are afraid to say that there is no need for elections.

“Election in Nigeria is election by the Government in power, the INEC, the Security agencies and the judiciary”, Senator Ibrahim Tsauri opined.
