A group, Friends of Democracy, has rejected the judgement of the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal which affirmed the declaration of Senator
In a statement released on Monday by its coordinator, Okafor Azubuike, the group warned against perversion of justice, insisting that the election was inconclusive.
The statement said, “We witnessed the election in Abia-North for the senatorial election. We deployed men to monitor it. The election to every lover of democracy and truth was inconclusive. The statement added, “On the 26th of February, 2023, the News Agency of Nigeria reported that INEC through its Administration Secretary in Abia, Clement Oha, announced that elections would be held on the 27th of February, 2023 being Monday at ‘various polling units in Aba North, Aba South, Arochukwu, Obingwa, Osisioma, Ohafia and Umuahia North Local Government Areas at 8 a.m’.
Noting that Labour Party candidate Nnamdi Iro Orji has vowed to challenge the tribunal’s ruling, the group urged the judiciary to ensure that justice is done. “The court must not allow those questionable characters who feel election is a win or die enterprise and deployed looted funds to perpetuate violence and deploys such ill-gotten wealth to pervert justice in court to have their way in court.
