The Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Asaba, yesterday, nullified the election of James Manager of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the senator representing Delta South senatorial district.
Reacting to the judgement, Senator Manager in a statement he made available to journalists said he was unperturbed and described judgement as a miscarriage of justice and truly the tribunal erred in all fronts . We will definitely appeal the judgement.
Sen. James Manager’s Statement in full:
I have being studying the judgement of the Election Petition Tribunal with my legal team for Delta South Senatorial District which sat in Asaba today.
I have also read the reaction from Dr. Emma Uduaghan (immediate past governor of delta state).
I want to firstly thank my dear people of delta south senatorial district for your show of solidarity, affection, goodwill and support at this time as always.
I am in a small corner laughing and I remain unperturbed. This judgement is certainly a miscarriage of justice and truly the tribunal erred in all fronts. We will definitely appeal the judgement.
I want to urge my supporters to remain calm and patient for the outcome of our appeal for this is just a temporary setback. Going forward, Dr. Emma Uduaghan is well aware that if the election is conducted 50 times i will emerge victorious.
Thank you and may Almighty God bless you all. We will triumph.
Signed: Senator James Manager
