Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, says the Peoples Democratic Party, will take its grudge over the election tribunal judgement in Taraba state to the court of men and court of God.
Fayose said in a statement released on Saturday, that he finds it perplexing that the tribunal chose to base its ruling on an internal matter of the PDP.
The outspoken governor described the governorship election tribunal ruling as a miscarriage of justice and that the judgement would not be allowed to stand.
Fayose gave his standpoint on the matter through a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.
“How does the emergence of party candidate, which is the clear internal business of the party and a pre-election matter concern the APC and the Election Tribunal?
“Isn’t it funny that it is no longer about election rigging, but technicality of how PDP candidates emerged even when no one in the PDP went to court to challenge how Governor Ishaku emerged as the PDP governorship candidate?
“If insecurity could make Taraba State Tribunal sit in Abuja and not in Jalingo, how then can it be justified that the same tribunal that sat in Abuja nullified the governor’s election because the primary election that produced him too was held in Abuja?
“Is it not being manifested in this President Muhammadu Buhari led APC government that what is good for some people may not be good for others even though we operate the same constitution?
“To me and the teeming supporters of the PDP, this judgement is one that must not be allowed to stand. It is a clear miscarriage of justice and we will seek redress from the court of men and the court of God.”
“If everybody is persecuted and intimidated to submission, I will remain resolute in my resolved to always say the truth before men and God.”
