I’ll Retrieve My Mandate from Al-Makura, Adokwe Vows - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
The Senator representing Nasarawa South senatorial zone, Suleiman Adokwe, has vowed to take back the senatorial zone seat won by the state Governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, in the just concluded National Assembly election.
But at a press briefing in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, Adokwe who is the current representative of the district at the National Assembly, rejected the declaration of Al-Makura by INEC as the winner of the election. According to him, “We will take back our mandate. I have done that before. We will pursue it. In fact this case is going to be easier for me because what has happened is very easy to recover.” “It was done in a very shabby, brazen and jackboot manner.
He said: “We are getting towards that. It is absolutely unacceptable to the generality of our people in the rural areas that they are prevented from voting as they are supposed to vote.”
