The Senator-elect for Niger
East Senatorial district, Alhaji Mohammed Sani Musa has declared that he will
reclaim his mandate at the Supreme Court after the Appeal Court judgment upheld
the Appeal filed by Senator David Umaru against his nomination by the APC in
the National Assembly elections.
He expressed his readiness
to see the case to a logical conclusion at the Supreme Court.
The Appeal Court on Monday
ruled that Senator David Umaru is the Senatorial candidate of the APC and
should be recognised as such.
In a press statement, Musa
said that his mandate cannot be stolen because he polled the highest valid
votes castes during the APC primaries held in the state.
He declared that the appeal
court ruling cannot stand stating that it is an aberration of what justice
entails.
”The appeal court ruling
today cannot stand; it is a miscarriage of justice and a complete aberration to
what justice entails.
“I have no doubt in my mind
that the apex court in the land will right the wrong temporarily done to my
mandate by the lower court”, the senator-elect said.
