Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West has reacted to the Kogi State National Assembly/State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal’s nullification of his victory at the senatorial poll.
Newspread247 reports that the APC candidate, Sam Adeyemi challenged Melaye’s election on three grounds of irregularities, over voting and non compliance with the electoral act.
Reacting on Twitter, Melaye said he would get judgement at the Appeal court.
He wrote, ”On Tribunal judgement. No cause for alarm at all. Even if it went my way they will still go to the Appeal Court. Our mandate can not be taken. We will get judgment at the Appeal Court.
”There will be fresh election in Kogi West because I will be Governor. For my Senate mandate no shaking.”
Newspread 247 also reports that a three-man panel led by Justice A. O. Chijioke had on Friday in an unanimous judgment, accepted Adeyemi’s ground and ordered for a fresh election in the senatorial district.
