The state election petition
tribunal had on Tuesday dismissed the petition filed by the former governor for
lack of merit and legal incompetence.
Awoniyi told newsmen, shortly
after the judgment of the tribunal, that consultation was already going on
within the party’s legal team of lawyers on how to appeal the judgment.
“Our lawyers are already
reviewing the judgment with a sound mind to appeal, we absolutely believe in
the efficacy of our justice system.
“I appeal to our supporters to
remain calm and not to aggravate their grievances, we have absolute confidence
that justice will be done at the end of the day,’’ Awoniyi said.
The former deputy governor told
newsmen that the desire to appeal the judgment was to deepen the country’s
electoral laws.
The former governor was said to
have gone for Umrah (Lesser Hajj).
