Go to court if you have issues with Dogara’s re-election, PDP tells APC

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Bauchi state chapter has challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to go to court if it has issues with the re-election of Speaker, House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara.

The state party chairman, Alhaji Hamza Akuyam, challenged the APC Tuesday in Bauchi saying the ruling party should seek legal redress if they were disenchanted with Dogara’s re-election.

The APC had alleged that the election in Dogara’s constituency was marred by irregularities.

He said the re-election of Dogara in Tafawa Balewa, Bogoro and Dass federal constituency in Saturday’s National Assembly election was done in line with electoral guidelines.

Akuyam said no adverse report was issued either by international or domestic election observers or security agencies during the polls.

He, therefore, wondered where APC got its own facts that the polls were marred by irregularities.
Akuyam said that APC under the leadership of Alhaji Uba Nana raised various issues just to discredit the election.

According to him, Nana simply addressed journalists to cause mischief and to subvert the PDP’s ideals.

The PDP chairman further observed that in spite of false claims by APC, there was no petition written either by the party or individual to disclaim Dogara’s victory.

He challenged APC chieftains in the state to seek legal redress if they felt strongly about the re-election of Dogara. (NAN)
