The tribunal led by Justice Lambert Azuama, with Justice Ruqayat Ayoola and Linda Yarosong as members, in its ruling dismissed the petition for lack of documentary evidence and affirmed the victory of Hon.

The federal lawmaker, who extended a hand of fellowship to Mrs Ebikake, urged her to join hands with him to attract development to the constituency reiterated his determination to give the people of Nembe/ Brass federal constituency quality representation.
“We cannot continue to drag ourselves with litigations. It is time to move on. I want to assure my people that I would not disappoint them. I promised them quality representation in the House of Representatives. I also assure them that I would do my best to attract infrastructure development to the constituency.’
