Katsina PDP Expresses Discontent Over Presidential Election Tribunal Verdict, Calls It A Miscarriage Of Justice....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Katsina chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has voiced its strong dissatisfaction with the recent verdict of the presidential election tribunal, which upheld President Bola Tinubu’s victory, asserting that it fell significantly short of delivering justice.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Umar Tsauri, the former chairman of the Atiku/Lado campaign team, characterized the tribunal’s ruling as an “unfortunate judgment.” On September 6, the tribunal dismissed the petitions filed by three political parties challenging Tinubu’s electoral win.

Tsauri expressed the party’s belief that while judgments were rendered, true justice remained elusive, having been denied. He criticized the recent string of tribunal verdicts, stating that they failed to align with the expectations of justice held by Nigerians.
“We firmly assert that the judgment handed down by the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has been sorely lacking in justice,” Tsauri emphasized. “In fact, we would argue that what the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) did during the elections mirrored what the PEPC did to Nigeria, Nigerians, and the democratic process.”
He referenced the opposition’s trust in Mahmud Yakubu, INEC chairman, who had promised the effective use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) during the election. “We in the opposition believed him and became relaxed with full confidence and optimism,” Tsauri stated, “but unfortunately, the reverse was the case because all he told Nigerians turned out to be deceit.”
Tsauri criticized the justices of the court of appeal for delivering judgments that lacked substance. He noted that despite providing documents and witnesses to substantiate their case, members of the political parties were left disillusioned, as the tribunal’s decision seemed to prioritize personal interests over judicial facts.
Tsauri pointed out that the elections were marred by numerous irregularities, including electoral malpractices, intimidation, and the inability to hold elections in some polling units due to insecurity. He lamented that two PDP members had been dismissed by the tribunal on technicalities, while two Senators, armed with compelling proof and evidence, were also denied justice due to what he termed “pure judicial injustice.”
In conclusion, Tsauri called upon PDP supporters in Nigeria and Katsina to disregard the judgments delivered by the PEPC and the election tribunal in Katsina. He asserted that while they were compelled to acknowledge the judgment, they categorically rejected the perceived injustice reflected in the tribunal’s verdict.
