The election petition tribunal sitting in Minna, the Niger State Capital has upheld the election of Senator Sani Musa, APC, Niger East.
A petition was filed before the tribunal by his opponent Ibrahim Isiyaku (SAN) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but it was thrown away for lacking merit.
Reacting to the judgement on Wednesday, Senator Musa held an olive branch to his opponent, noting that this has become imperative for the overall development of the Senatorial District, and the state in general.
In a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, Senator Sani Musa said, ” I want to appreciate the Election Petition Tribunal for the judgment rendered in the Niger East Election Petition and the commitment to upholding justice.
“I would also like to express my appreciation to my dear brother Ibrahim Isiaku SAN for pursuing the case with dignity and civility. Your dedication to the legal process is commendable.
“I sincerely appeal to my brother to join hands with me in our collective effort to work towards the development of our zone. Together, we can achieve great things for our community and people.
“Lastly, I want to thank my supporters for their unwavering support and resilience throughout the judicial process. Your faith in our cause is deeply valued. Thank you all for your contributions to our democratic process.”
