Ajayi vows to appeal tribunal’s judgment
Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2024 governorship election in Ondo State, Agboola Alfred Ajayi, has said he would appeal judgment of the tribunal which affirmed victory of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Governor Aiyedatiwa won with a landslide victory in the 18 local government areas.
Ajayi, in a statement, said he was disappointed that he didn’t get justice at the Tribunal.
The former Deputy Governor said the tribunal did not accorded proper analysis to details of the evidences and exhibits submitted to it.
He said he remained undeterred and undiscouraged in search to ensure that justice was not only served but also ensured that honesty begins to prevail in our election process.
“Therefore we restate our conclusion to vitiate our rights and desires towards advancing our commitment to the legal process by appealing the judgement of the Tribunal at the Court of Appeal.
“This we do in spite of the obvious challenges that the Judiciary faces in Nigeria at this particular period; including prevailing views that suggest the unportability of justice in our nation, we remain irrevocably committed to leaving no stone unturned in getting justice in this matter, because laws, particularly electoral laws are no mere decorations, but meant to be obeyed at every cost, or else our democracy remains a mere mockery, totally unworthy of celebration as it is earmarked to be celebrated on June 12th.
“We urge our Party members and supporters not to be weary, even in spite of the fact that APC came to the Court on judgement day last week in a celebratory mood indicative of a prior knowledge of the verdict to be delivered, justice shall reign in our State and Nation.”
