PDP‘won’t appeal’judgment on Adamawa
Posted by:Gbade Ogunwale and Faith Yahaya, Abuja in News Update
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has said the party would not appeal Wednesday’s judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja, that sacked the erstwhile Acting Governor of the state, Umar Fintiri and installed the erstwhile Deputy Governor, Bala Igilari as governor.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this while reacting to the verdict of the court.
According to him, the PDP was not joined in the court case and so there is no basis for the party to appeal the judgment.
Metuh said:“The party has looked at the judgment on Adamawa and we resolved as follows:
“The PDP is a law-abiding party and we have therefore advised our members to obey accordingly. As is being done in every legal matter, there is right of appeal.
“But in the meantime the PDP has enjoined our party members to obey the decision of the court.
“Secondly, the paramount thing for us is peace in Adamawa. And we enjoin the Executive Governor of Adamawa State that was sworn in today to pursue peace and progress of Adamawa State.
“The state has had its own fair share of political turmoil, the state has had its own fair share of challenges. We believe that the citizens of the state deserve peace and unity.
“We urge our state chairman to ensure that PDP remains united as one body in Adamawa. And as a PDP member we can only say to the former Deputy Governor to continue to pursue the party’s programmes for the benefit of the people.”

Though this story doesn't have a source. I still believe there's more to come from this judgment. Before the end of this week, we will know whose victory it is. Whether pdp or apc. But for now, its fingers crossed.
