Hon. Obinna Aguocha has expressed delight over the Election Tribunal’s judgement which authenticated his election as member representing Ikwuano/ Umuahia North/ Umuahia South of Abia State, during the February 25 National Assembly election.
Aguocha, who stated this via a statement issued after the end of the Tribunal’s sitting, extended an olive branch to his rival, the immediate past Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Chinedum Orji.
While pledging support for Governor Alex Otti, Hon. Aguocha said: “Moments ago, the National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia gave judgment in our favour thus affirming my election as the member representing the good and indefatigable people of Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency in the 10th House of Representatives.
“To God alone be all the Glory! The journey leading to this moment has been tortuous and difficult but because of our unwavering and abiding confidence in the good people of Ikwuano/Umuahia North and Umuahia South Federal Constituency, it has also been promising and one full of valuable lessons.
“This electoral process has never been about me. It has always been about our people and my belief in the things that matter most to them. In embarking on this journey, I have been guided by the values imbibed in me by my parents, values anchored on God and buoyed by a lifetime of service to humanity.
“The 2023 Elections are over! The Election Tribunal has just confirmed that this is so, and it is now time to fulfill all those promises that were made to our people during the campaigns.
“The time has come to begin the task of building our communities and working to ensure that the dividends of their struggle and aspirations are brought to bear, and a time to also support our Governor, Dr. Alex Otti.
“However, I cannot do this alone. I am just one person. All hands must be on deck.
“I call all my compatriots in this struggle, especially my dear friend and brother, the Rt. Honourable Chinedum Orji, the immediate past Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, and my worthy competitor for the House of Representatives Seat.
“I congratulate him for a very spirited contest which culminated in today’s judgment, but Power belongs to God and He gives it to whom He pleases.
“I urge my brothers to please sheath their swords and join hands with me as we develop our dear Federal Constituency.
“I must at this juncture commend the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia for a most just and judicious dispensation of justice.
“I have always believed that our courts are the last hope of the common man, and this faith has been reinforced by the verdict of today.
“We are all partners in the Nigerian project and we will continue to use our best endeavours in building a strong and virile democracy. To my Labour Party patriots, thank you!”
