Senator Wabara, the acting Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), expressed his belief on Tuesday that the court would restore the stolen mandates of their party’s candidates in the previous presidential election.
Wabara made this statement during his opening remarks at a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee Select Committee held in Abuja.
Although the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, and former governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, were absent, Ambassador Umar Damagun, the Acting National Chairman of the party, urged party members to move past grievances and focus on finding practical solutions to the challenges currently facing the party.
However, expressing delight that a large number of those invited turned up for the meeting, Wabara said, “Frankly speaking, I didn’t expect that we still have this number in our party. I want to congratulate all of us for having faith in this party. This is what will make us strong enough to clinch our stolen victory. We should not despair. We are in politics”.
“As our acting National Chairman mentioned, they stole our mandate. We hope the tribunal and the courts will give us back our stolen mandate”.
“Much as some of us may disagree with the synopsis because we are still in court, we should mind what we are going to say today so it doesn’t work against us in court”.
“Let us watch how we attack ourselves. There will be time for that. The BOT waits to take some advisory decisions, but then this is not the time.”
