He contended that what was witnessed in the judgment was not what majority of Nigerians who participated and observed the presidential election expected, including the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said that the PDP indeed made a solid case, with indisputable evidence, showing that Abubakar won the Presidential election.
Ologbondiyan said that the party was as such surprised that the justices of the Supreme Court held otherwise.
“However, that is the highest court of the land.
“Notwithstanding, the distinction of our case remains for Nigerians, including generations yet unborn, to appreciate,’’ he stated.
He added that nevertheless, PDP and the nation awaited the justices of the Supreme Court to release their reasons behind the verdict.
Ologbondiyan expressed the party’s gratitude to millions of Nigerians across board for voting for Abubakar in the election.
He also commended their unflinching support for the PDP during the election and throughout the duration of court proceedings.
