The Peoples Democratic Party candidate in the Imo North (Okigwe) senatorial rerun, Sen. Athan Nneji Achonu, has described last Wednesday’s judgment tribunal sitting, in Abuja, as laughable, saying that he has already filed for a notice of Appeal.
The tribunal had declared All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu, winner of the rerun.
Sen. Achonu who addressed the media at his country home, in Ehime Mbano, on Monday said that the judgment of tribunal was laughable noting that the results of the re-run Senatorial elections that was submitted by INEC shows that he won the election and wondered where the judges got result with which the declared the APC candidate as the winner.
According to him, “The judgement by the Tribunal was a sham and we have already filed a notice of Appeal because that judgement is laughable.
“The result submitted by INEC shows that the I had won the election boot by boot and yet the judges in their wisdom decided to declare the APC candidate as the winner of the re- run senatorial election.”
Achonu added, “I am also going to petition the National Judicial Commission to investigate those Judges who are trying to drag the judiciary in the mud. I have sent the judgement to so many legal luminaries in the country who expressed shock”.
Sen. Achonu, who commended the Okigwe people for giving him their mandate, assured them that nobody could steal their votes not even the tribunal judges.
