I ‘ll Appeal Tribunal Sack, Says Sekibo by alawi5k: 6:24am On Jun 30, 2017
The Election Petitions Tribunal sitting over
senatorial elections in Rivers State has
nullified the victory of Senator George
Sekibo of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.
Andrew Uchendu, the candidate of All
Progressives Congress, APC, was declared
the winner of the re-run election, which
held on December 10, 2016.
The Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, had declared Mr.
Sekibo winner of the election conducted
in Rivers East senatorial district.
The tribunal ordered INEC to withdraw
the certificate of return from Mr. Sekibo
and give same to Mr. Uchendu.
Meanwhile, Senator Sekibo, yesterday,
said that he will appeal the verdict of the
Tribunal, just as he described the
development as a prize a commander
pays for leading a battle.
Reacting to the tribunal’s judgement,
Senator Sekibo, who expressed hope that
his appeal will justify his victory and
restore his people’s belief in democratic
values, said that the sincere wishes of
patriotic Rivers people and people of
Rivers East senatorial district who came
out and voted overwhelmingly for the
PDP would never be subverted as “the
truth cannot be defeated by shades of
darkness.”
Sekibo reaffirmed his confidence in the
capacity of the judiciary to dispense
justice, just as he urged the electorate to
remain steadfast in their support for him
and the PDP.
In a statement in Abuja by his Senior
Legislative Aide, David Okoroafor, Senator
Sekibo, while thanking his supporters for
their prayers and support, said that he
was aware that many were not happy
with the tribunal’s judgement, but
described it as a price a commander pays
for leading a battle.
He thanked his supporters for their
prayers and support, urging them to
remain calm and courageous as he
expects the appeal panel to further
appraise the facts of the matter and give
what he described as the true judgement.
