Edeoga To Appeal Enugu Tribunal Judgement On Governorship

 Chijioke Edeoga, the governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Enugu State, has vowed to challenge the judgement of the Enugu State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which affirmed Peter Mbah of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the duly elected governor of the state.

The tribunal, chaired by Justice Kudirat Murayo Akano, had struck out Edeoga/Labour Party’s allegations of over-voting, bypass of BVAS in the election, and forgery of the NYSC certificate.

But reacting to the judgement through the spokesman, Edeoga/Nwokeabia Campaign Organisation, George Ugwu, Edeoga urged his supporters across the state and in other parts of the country to remain calm, law-abiding, and to go about their businesses without fear or hindrance.

He assured his supporters of his preparedness to challenge the outcome of the judgement at the Court of Appeal and to all extents as permitted by law.

Edeoga said: “We retain a firm belief in justice, and will go the full extent legally possible in ensuring that the hopes of Enugu people who turned out in their numbers to vote for Labour Party candidates on March 18, 2023, are realised.”
