The Niger State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party says it will appeal Friday’s election tribunal’s verdict on the Niger East senatorial bye-election.
Hassan Saba, Niger PDP Publicity Secretary, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Minna but urged its members to remain calm and committed to winning the forthcoming general elections.
An election petition tribunal had on Friday upturned the result of the senatorial bye-election in favour of David Umoru of the All Progressives Congress.
The party advised APC loyalists not to rejoice yet, adding that the tribunal verdict did not reflect what transpired at the polls.
Niger State Zone B Senatorial bye-election was conducted in August 2014 to replace the vacancy created as a result of the death of Sen. Dahiru Kuta.
