The Jimi Adebisi Lawal Campaign Organization (JALCO) said it has received with mixed feelings the news of the judgment delivered by the Federal High Court, Abuja, in respect of the governorship primary election of the Ogun state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) held on the 25th of May, 2022.
JALCO said in a statement that although the judgment went against the issues, facts and the law, it is comforted by the fact that the judicial system allows for appeal to the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
“We do intend to exercise our right of appeal without any delay. We are strong in our resolve to test the Constitution of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), its Guidelines for Primary Elections and the Electoral Act, 2022. If for nothing else, it will help to deepen our jurisprudence and democracy.”
The campaign team said the its legal team are taking steps to appeal the judgment immediately.
“While we go through the judicial process, we wish to urge our faithful delegates, party members, supporters, leaders and elders to remain resolute and steadfast, knowing full well that though the wheel of justice grinds slowly, it is steady and sure. No matter how long it takes, the truth shall prevail!”
