PDP Imo North Candidate, Emmanuel Okewulonu Sure Of Victory At Election Tribunal

TRIXX NG reports that the candidate of the PDP in the Imo North senatorial election that took place on December 5, Chief Emmanuel Okewulonu has raised his hope for a favourable judgment at the election tribunal next week.

This was in reaction to the supreme court judgment that affirmed Frank Ibezim as the candidate of the APC in the election.

Emmanuel Okewulonu in a post revealed that the case filed at the tribunal is going well, and assured his supporters that justice will prevail during the next sitting at the Tribubal

FOR THE SAKE OF OKIGWE;

MY FRANK ASSURANCE.

You are no doubt all aware of the Supreme Court ruling affirming Sir Frank Ibezim as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 5th December, 2020, bye-election for the Imo North senatorial district.

The ruling is the culmination of a legal battle purely between warring factions of the APC. We were not a party in that suit.

The impression may have thus been created that the long journey we embarked upon since the early part of 2020 has come to an unceremonious end.

Nothing can be farther from the truth, however, given that the ruling is purely on a pre-election matter, in which the APC, in its usual underhand pattern, was in actuality, still shopping for a candidate for an election that had long been consigned to the archives of history. It is no doubt, a continuation of the recurring pattern of inconsistent and incomprehensible judicial decisions which we have all been witness to in recent times, particularly in Imo State.

For the avoidance of doubt, however, I want to assure you that our own suit instituted at the Election Tribunal is still alive and well, and will proceed without any let or hindrance.

I therefore urge our stakeholders and supporters, and indeed, the entire Imo North electorate, a.k.a. ndi Okigwe, to keep the faith, and not be disheartened or discouraged, because we are not giving up on the battle to affirm that we were the actual winners in that bye-election.

Unfortunately, it has become glaringly obvious that there seems to be a concerted and orchestrated attempt at every turn, to deny Imo people of their mandates freely given to the candidates of their choice. Practical instances abound.

Nevertheless, suffice it to say that we are confident that in this case, we have the truth and the support of Okigwe people on our side. Justice will therefore, eventually be done, and victory will be ours.

Let me once again express my sincere appreciation for the unstinting solidarity and support which you all have exhibited so far, and to assure you once again that no stone will be left unturned in our quest at the tribunal to affirm and consolidate our mandate.

By God’s grace, WE SHALL PREVAIL, and Okigwe will be better.

Chief Emma Okewulonu

PDP Senatorual candidate
