The Peoples Democratic Party, has said that the party will appeal the judgment delivered by an Abuja High Court, in favour of Governor Ben Ayade.
This was disclosed in a statement by the party chairman in Cross-River State, Vena Ikem, who said the party will not relent untill it gets justice.
The statement read in part, “We will be studying the judgment in its entirety with the certainty of appealing to the next Court of Law until justice is manifestly done.
“The judgment of yesterday by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja is yet another successful exploration of the dept of legal jurisprudence in uncharted territory such as we have at hand. Let me assure you that this judgment is only a step in the overall picture envisaged by our lawyers when they took steps to explore this legal option which has the potential to take both the Judiciary and indeed our entire democracy to another level entirely.
“We will continue to support our lawyers as they lead us in this battle for the soul of our democracy and good governance of our people.”
The statement further said that, Ayade has regretted his move to the APC, adding that they “will continue to drive the message home that it was the PDP that was elected to govern Cross River People in 2019 because our people are PDP, body and soul, and not APC.”
