The National Assembly Petition Tribunal sitting at Asaba today nullified my return as the winner of the Delta Central Senatorial Election of 26th February, 2023 and ordered a supplementary election within 90 days in only 23 polling units, out of the 2,180 units in the district.
While I respect the ruling of the tribunal, I do not accept its decision. I have therefore directed my legal team to appeal the judgement immediately.
Like we promised during our campaign to defend our votes, we shall fulfill our promise by defending the mandate which the people of Delta Central freely gave to us.
It is instructive to note that despite the cancellation of the affected units, we are still having an insurmountable lead over our closet opponent.
As a consequence, we are not perturbed by today’s momentary setback which we shall surely overcome.
We, therefore, urge our party faithful, supporters, and the great people of Delta Central to remain calm and steadfast, because this also shall end in Praise!
Signed:
Senator Ede Dafinone,
Delta Central Senatorial District.
12th September, 2023.
