The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed surprise over the judgment that sacked its governor in Imo state.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, described the judgment as yet another very sad commentary on the nation’s democratic order.
He said: “The party finds it difficult to understand how Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress, who came 4th in the March 9, 2019 Governorship election, with just 96,458 votes, will suddenly, by the token of the judgment of the Supreme Court, defeat Chief Emeka Ihedioha/PDP who scored 276,404 votes.
“In fact, the PDP and indeed, most Nigerians are still at a loss as to understand the basis upon which the Supreme Court arrived at its decision.
“The party says it is lamentable that the destiny of the people of Imo State is being taken from the Governor they chose and voted for and handed over to individuals and a political party that do not have their blessing and mandate and which they rejected at the election”.
