The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye, has described the ruling of the Kogi West National Assembly/State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal cancelling his victory in the March 22 election and ordering a fresh election as a miscarriage of justice.
In a recent statement, he disclosed that his legal team have been studying the judgement and he intends to appeal it.
He revealed that he was sure that the Appeal Court would upturn the judgement of the lower tribunal.
His words, “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 teeming supporters to remain calm as their mandate is safe and secure 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.”
