Uduaghan To Appeal Tribunal’s Ruling Despite Lauding Judgement 'We shall be challenging the Tribunal’s judgement at the appeal court to declare us as the outright winner...'
The former governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, has reacted to the judgement of the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal which sacked Mr James Manager as the senator representing Delta South senatorial district.
A three-man panel led by Justice Chioma Onyeabor had nullified the victory of Senator Manager of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 23 poll over non-compliance with electoral guidelines in some parts of the district where the election held.It, however, ordered the Independent Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh election for Delta South senatorial district within 90 days.
He said, “While we are happy with the Tribunal’s judgement which affirmed my party’s position that the election was rigged and characterised with electoral over voting, we are not entirely satisfied with the judgement as the Tribunal ought to have deducted the excess illegal votes and declared me and my party rightful winner of the election.”
