The Sokoto State Chapter of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on its supporters to remain calm
over the loss of two National Assembly seats to the PDP.
The Court
of Appeal, Sokoto Division, on Wednesday, nullified the election of Senator
representing Sokoto South, Abubakar Tambuwal and member representing
Bodinga/Dange Shuni/Tureta Federal Constituency, Aliyu Shehu.
The Appellate Court also declared
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates for Sokoto South Senatorial District
and Dange-Shune/Tureta/Bodinga Federal Constituency winners of the elections.
Reacting, APC State Chairman,
Alhaji Sadiq Achida said the party would study the Court of Appeal verdicts on
the cases and respond appropriately.
“The judgements in respect of
Sokoto North and South Federal Constituency, as well as those in respect of
Sokoto South Senatorial District and Bodinga Dange/Shuni Tureta Federal
Constituency appeared to be clear miscarriage of justice.
”APC appeals to all our
supporters to continue to remain calm and law abiding, these are virtues known
to be in our character,” NAN quoted Achida as saying.
“The APC is examining the
judgements and will leave no stone unturned to ensure that we defend all the
seats won by our party through votes freely cast by Sokoto people,” he added.
