Edo: YDP says no appeal against Obaseki
The Young Democratic Party (YDP) has
said that it will not appeal a court case challenging the election of Mr
Godwin Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor of
Edo State.
The party had gone to court seeking for the nullification of the election that produced Obaseki as governor, on the grounds that the party logo was wrongfully printed in the ballot papers by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The national chairman of YDP, Comrade Emmanuel Bishop Amakiri, said in a statement, yesterday, that they were discontinuing the court case in the interest of democracy.
He, however, urged Governor Obaseki to ensure an all-inclusive government.
“Our gubernatorial candidate, Engr. Nurudeen Nwafero, has also agreed with the party that their legal team should withdraw from the move for appeal. In the interest of Democracy, we urge Governor Godwin Obaseki to ensure an all-inclusive government,” Amakiri said.
Also in his New Year message, the YDP national chairman urged Nigerian youth to massively register as members of the party ahead of future elections.
He said the party should be seen by every Nigerian youth as the only alternative for a prosperous Nigeria.
