Senator Dino Melaye has told his opponents not to rejoice yet as according to him their jubilation would be short-lived.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District in the National Assembly was reacting to a ruling by the elections petitions tribunal on Friday in Lokoja, the state capital, nullifying his victory during the February 2019 general election.<\/p>\n
Melaye expressed confidence in getting a favourable verdict at the Appeal Court when the matter is heard.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI commend the courage and moral strength of the chairman of the tribunal for resisting evil and standing on the part of justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have confidence in the Appeal Court to right the wrongs as contained in the pronouncements of the judgement.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also want to tell those jubilating that their jubilation will be short-lived while appealing to my teeming supporters to remain calm as their mandate is safe and secure and cannot be taken through any mischievous means.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, our legal team is already working on appealing the judgment and I assure all that justice will prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
