The Election Petition Tribunal, sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, has nullified the victory of the People’s Democratic Party candidate for Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore and Ejigbo Federal Constituency, Bamidele Salam.
Reacting to the judgment, Salam said he was not “moved” over the judgment, adding that the mandate that was freely given to him by the people and stamped by God, could not be stolen by any man.“Our victory at the February 23 House of Representatives poll is sacrosanct and this minor setback will only sweeten the taste of victory in our mouths.
The tribunal said the petitioner, Hazzim Abioye of the PDP, failed to prove that the respondent did not resign her appointment in Michael Opara University, Umudike, before contesting for the February poll. Hailing the tribunal judges for their fearlessness and commitment to the rule of law, he said, again the judiciary has proven its impartiality.
