The National Assembly/State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Lokoja on Friday sacked Senator Dino Melaye as the Senator for Kogi West.
In its judgement, the tribunal ordered that fresh elections should be held in the senatorial district.
In his response,the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye has described the ruling of the Kogi West election tribunal, nullifying his election victory in the March 22nd 2019 election and ordering for a fresh election. A judgement he described as a total miscarriage of Justice.
“The judgement is full of importation of information that are alien to the case”
“I however commend the courage and moral strength of the chairman of the tribunal for resisting evil and standing on the part of justice”
“I have confidence in the appeal court to right the wrongs as contained in the pronouncements of the judgement”
“I also want to tell those jubilating that their jubilation will be short lived while appealing to my teaming supporters to remain calm as their mandate is safe and secured and cannot be taken through any mischievous means”
“However, Our legal team is already working on appealing the judgment and I assure all that justice will prevail,” he stated
