The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal for his well-deserved victory at the Sokoto
Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which upheld his election on
Wednesday.
The party described the verdict as victory for democracy and inevitable
triumph of the will of the people, as expressed in the March 23
governorship election, over forces that sought to foist themselves on
the state.
“The PDP notes that Governor Tambuwal’s resounding victory at the
election was a clear endorsement of his leadership style as evinced in
his commitment towards the development of the state and the empowerment of the people.
“Indeed, Governor Tambuwal’s achievements in developing the state and
empowering the people in all critical sectors of life stood him out in
his first term. His re-election therefore marks the determination of the
people to consolidate on good governance in their state.
“The PDP however rejects the judgments of the governorship election
tribunal in Kano and Plateau states.
“It nevertheless urges its teeming members and supporters not to lose
hope as the tribunal is not the end of the road adding that justice will
surely prevail at the end of the day,” according to Kola Ologbondiyan in a statement on Wednesday.
