The Julious Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party has faulted the Enugu State Governorship Election Tribunal judgement which gave victory to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Peter Mbah.
Recall that a three-member panel of the tribunal led by Justice Kudirat Murayo dismissed the petitions of the Labour Party and its candidate,, insisting that they failed to prove claims contained in their petition. “After three days, an Abuja INEC panel led by Festus Okoye reduced the total 33,000 plus votes illegally hurled from Nkanu East alone to about 19,000, but gave Mbah almost 17,000 votes to enable him beat LP’s Edeoga with 3,000+ votes.
“ Notwithstanding the above true position, the Enugu State Governorship Election Tribunal on Saturday, 21st September, 2023 shockingly delivered a judgment on the disputed election that appeared to have ignored the facts in issue.
