Adeyeye: APC, PDP bicker after appeal court declares Olujimi winner
- APC has kicked against the court decision that gave victory to Senator Olujimi
- The party said the judgement truncated people's wishes
- But the PDP lauded the decision of the appeal court, calling it a great one
Reactions have continued to trail the sack of Dayo Adeyeye of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by the appeal court.
Recall that the court recently declared Senator Biodun Olujimi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the legitimate senator representing Ekiti South senatorial district after the appeal of Adeyeye was struck out.
In its reaction, the ruling APC described the judgement as travesty of justice and truncation of people's wishes.
However, the PDP hailed the decision, claiming that the judgement earlier declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not reflect the true vote cast, The Nation reports.
The party also berated INEC for allegedly colluding with the APC to deprive Olujimi and the PDP of the mandate given to them by the people of the senatorial district.
Meanwhile, Elder Sam Oluwalana, APC director of media and publicity, in Ekiti state urged the people not to be discouraged by the court judgement.
