The Labour Party governorship candidate during the 2023 election in Enugu State, Barr Chijioke Edeoga has rejected the judgement of the election petition
and declared that Governor Peter Mbah of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was validly elected.
However, in a statement made available to DAILY POST, the Edeoga/Nwokeabia Campaign Organisation vowed to pursue judgement at the appellate court.
“We wish to convey the acknowledgment by the Labour Party and its candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, of the judgement as delivered at the tribunal, and to state our preparedness to challenge the outcome of this judgement at the Court of Appeal and to all extents as permitted by law. “To this end, we urge our supporters across the State and in other parts of the country to remain calm, law-abiding, and to go about their businesses without fear or hindrance.
“We retain a firm belief in justice, and will go the full extent legally possible in ensuring that the hopes of Enugu people who turned out in their numbers to vote for Labour Party candidates on March 18, 2023 are realised.”
