Sacked LP Rep Member, Sunday Nnamchi Vows To Challenge Tribunal Verdict

PRESS RELEASE

HON. PAUL NNAMCHI REJECTS TRIBUNAL JUDGMENT THAT NULLIFIED HIS ELECTION, HEADS TO APPEAL COURT.

Following the nullification of his election to represent the people of Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal constituency at the National Assembly by the three-man member of the National Assembly Election Tribunal at its sitting in Enugu today September 8, 2023, Professor Paul Nnamchi has rejected the verdict, saying it does not conform with the law and expectation of his teaming supporters.

This is contained in a Press Release by his Media Adviser, Sam Nwanze.
According to him “I am not satisfied with the judgment of the tribunal which to me is not in accordance with the provisions of the law and expectation of my teaming supporters. Consequently, I have instructed my lawyers to proceed to appeal the matter at the Appeal Court which has the final say on the case and I am confidence we will get justice at the Appeal Court. My confidence in the judiciary is not shaken by this judgment. I am hopeful justice will be served at the next level and the current verdict will be overturned at the appellate court.
I want to use this opportunity and appeal to my teaming supporters to remain calm as we are hopeful to reclaim the mandate at the Appeal Court.
I also use this opportunity to thank and appreciate all my supporters who have called to show solidarity and those who may not reach me. I can assure you all of my resolve to defend the mandate freely given to me through your votes by fighting to the end.
It is not yet over.
God bless all of you.

Signed
