Ologunagba said:

"As a Party, we have had an initial review of the Judgment as delivered by the PEPC and we unequivocally reject the said Judgement in its entirety."

In a statement shared via the party’s Twitter page @OfficialPDPNig, Ologunagba said the judgement was generous in technicalities and came short of delivering substantial justice.

“The Judgement is against reason, against the facts and evidence presented in Court; against the relevant Electoral Laws, Guidelines and Regulations as well as the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). Indeed, the Judgment is generous in technicalities and very short in delivering substantial justice in the matter.”

He added that the PDP will with our lawyers have decided on the next line of action after a comprehensive review of the tribunal’s Judgement.
