Ebonyi State Governor Martin Elechi, has pledged more dedicated service to the people of the state now that the final judicial huddle over his mandate has been set aside by the Supreme Court. Elechi promised not to disappoint the people of the state as he runs the last lap of his administration. The Supreme Court had dismissed the petition brought by the governorship candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, in the April 26 general elections, Senator Julius Ali Ucha, challenging the election of Governor Elechi.

But, Elechi, who was in a joyful mood as he addressed Government House workers and other well wishers that thronged the governor's lodge to congratulate him on his final victory at the apex court, said he would do anything, in so far as it is within his powers, to ensure the happiness and welfare of the people.

The governor said his victory at the tribunal, appeal court and finally the Supreme Court has shown that no amount of violence can thwart the will of the people. He said the time of banditry and brigandage in elections are over as no amount of terrorism will win election for anybody. Elechi expressed gratitude to the electorate, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and the judiciary for their various roles in consolidating his mandate.

Meanwhile, Ucha has expressed gratitude to his teeming supporters and those that voted for him during the election. He said that their hope in God should not be dampened by the judgment that dismissed his application to upturn the election of Governor Elechi. In a statement by his media aide, Emmanuel Uzor and made available to journalists in Abakaliki yesterday, Ucha said they should not despair because their prayers and supplications to God were not in vain.

He said God at His appointed time will hear them and save them. Ucha said however that the apex court's judgment marked the end of the human judgment against the injustice meted to me and indeed the entire Ebonyi people when the mandate they overwhelmingly gave to me was snatched by some political elements but, it is just the beginning, he declared
