“The judgment is against reason, against the facts and evidence presented in Court; against the relevant Electoral Laws, Guidelines and Regulations as well as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
“Indeed, the judgment is generous in technicalities and very short in delivering substantial justice in the matter.”
However, the statement added that the party would do a wholistic review of the judgement with its lawyers and decide what next in accordance with the law, and urged the people to remain peaceful.
