Sen Biodun Olujimi
The Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State has commended the
judiciary for upholding the victory of the party’s candidate, Sen Biodun
Olujimi in the last senatorial election.
PDP said that the judgment of both the lower tribunal and the appeal
court did not come as a surprise because the result declared by the
Independent National Electoral Commission did not reflect the true vote
cast in the first instance.
In a statement by the PDP Publicity Secretary in the State, Mr Jackson
Adebayo, the Party berated INEC for colluding with the All Progressives
Congress to steal the mandate which was given to Sen olujimi and PDP at
the poll without minding the Democratic consequences on the nation.
The Party, however, gave kudos to the judiciary for righting the wrong
appropriately by declaring Sen olujimi and PDP as the authentic winner
of the National Assembly election.
“We congratulate all members of our Party in the State and
particularly congratulate Sen Biodun Olujimi for her courage to fight
the battle to a victorious logical conclusion.”
The Party urge all the leaders as well as members of the Party to see
this victory as that of God, hence the need to cooperate to move the
Party forward.
“We want to assure all our members that with the victory of Sen.
Olujimi there is a great future for the Party, what we just need is to
walk in unison towards subsequent elections in the State “
