UDENDE SURE OF VICTORY ON APPEAL

Senator representing the Benue North East, Senator Emmanuel Udende, has assured his constituents that his election would be consolidated at the Court of Appeal.

Senator Udende gave the assurance yesterday while reacting to the judgement of the National and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting at Makurdi which claimed to have upturned his victory on the 25th February, 2023, in its judgement.

The Senator drew the attention of his constituents to the minority judgement which upheld his election noting that the courts of appeal will validate the judicial pronouncement of the judge.

He said his legal team has concluded preparations to file an appeal and urged for calm as the legal process which he said was part of the democratic runs its course.

Senator Udende stressed that he won the election with majority of lawful votes cast and fulfilled all other requirements hence he was declared victor and subsequently inaugurated as member of the red Chambers of the National Assembly to represent the good people of the Benue North East Senatorial District.

He enjoined his constituents not to be shaken by the judgement of the tribunal yesterday as it remains the court of first instance whose judgement was subject to appeal which he was sure would nullify it and consolidate his victory.

Senator Udende also assured that by law he would remain in the Senate until the conclusion of the legal process.
