The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed the Court of Appeal judgment validating the Enugu State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which dismissed the petition by the Labour Party (LP) candidate against Dr. Peter Mbah’s victory in the March 18, 2023, governorship election.
The PDP said it was a well-deserved victory as the party would have been shocked if the verdict had been otherwise. It described the Appeal Court decision as victory for democracy and a guarantee of bright future for the state.
The party’s reaction was contained in a statement issued by the Chairman of the PDP in Enugu State, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, on Friday. Commenting specifically on the judgment, Nnamani said: “The PDP welcomes with joy the unanimous verdict of the Justices of the Court of Appeal.
“This is victory for the good people of Enugu State, who trooped out en masse to support us during the March 18, governorship election. “It is also victory for a bright and assured future of Enugu as the premier destination for business, investment, living and tourism, which the PDP government of Dr. Peter Mbah guarantees.
“So, we congratulate the people of Enugu, who are the real winners. This is indeed victory for democracy and the people”. Nnamani urged the people of the state to continue in their support for Mbah and the PDP, assuring them that Mbah will deliver beyond expectation.
