Senator Dino Melaye, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, in the November 16, 2019, Kogi-West senatorial election, has
reacted to the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal judgment dismissing
his petition against the outcome of the Kogi West Senatorial District rerun
election.
The Tribunal on Wednesday upheld the election of Senator
Smart Adeyemi and dismissed Melaye’s petition seeking for him to be declared
the winner of the election.
A three-man panel of judges in a unanimous ruling said
Melaye and the PDP failed to validate their claims in the petition to warrant
granting their appeal.
Reacting, Melaye, in a tweet on his official Twitter handle,
said he was disappointed by the Judgment.
He explained that he never expected justices at the
tribunal, adding that he will be appealing the Judgment.
The 46-year-old politician, however, called on his
supporters to stay away from violence and remain law-abiding.
Melaye said in a video on Twitter with a caption: “I never
expected Justice at this level. But we shall laugh last.”
