Senator Ike Ekweremadu, gubernatorial aspirant in Enugu State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says he will appeal the Federal High Court, Abuja ruling that dismissed his application seeking to upturn the PDP delegates list.
This is contained in a statement on Tuesday in Enugu, signed by Mr Charles Asogwa, Director-General, of the Ikeoha Campaign Organisation.
Loyalists of Ekweremadu, the former Deputy Senate President, had faulted the Wards Delegates by PDP in the South-East state.
He had approached the court to nullify the process leading to the election of the delegates organised by PDP in the state which his campaign organisation described as fake.
According to the statement, the group received with shock the judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja, that dismissed its application.
It said delegates from its camp truly emanated in compliance to the PDP Constitution and Guidelines for the Election of Three-Man Delegates and National Delegates in the April 30 Ward Congress of PDP in Enugu State.
“However, we appeal to our supporters to remain calm, as this is just the court of first instance.
“Our lawyers have been directed to immediately file a Notice of Appeal against the judgement and we will surely pursue the matter to a logical conclusion.
“We trust God and believe that victory will be ours eventually, for no matter how fast falsehood and injustice appear to travel, truth and justice will ultimately overtake both in the fullness of time,” it said.
