Former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana,
has rejected Thursday’s Appeal Court judgement,
which affirmed former governor of Cross River
State Donald Duke as presidential candidate of
the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
This came as national chairman of the party,
Chief Olu Falae, called on all aggrieved members
of the party to bury their differences and support
Duke’s presidential ambition.
Gana, addressing the media, on Friday in Abuja,
through his campaign organisation, said having
carefully weighed the views and options presented
by SDP’s stakeholders and supporters, it was his
considered opinion the judgement was erroneous,
contradictory and a miscarriage of justice
Director General, G19 Presidential Campaign
Team of Prof. Gana,Dr Ike Neliaku, said: “Arising
from the above and many other lacunas and
contradiction in the judgement, we have carefully
weighed the views and options presented by our
stakeholders and supporters across the world and
resolve to accede to what is in the long term
interest of our democracy.
“It is therefore our considered opinion that the
judgement of the Court of Appeal is erroneous,
contradictory and a miscarriage of justice.
“The decision is therefore not acceptable to us
“Accordingly, our candidate, Prof. Jerry Gana, has
resolved to appeal the judgement at the Appeal
Court.â€
