Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has told opposition candidates contesting the victory of members of the ruling party in the state, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to rest and refocus on something else.
It was reported that Election Petitions Tribunal in Anambra State received 31 petitions concerning the February 25 National Assembly elections in the state.
Secretary to the tribunal, Mr. Muazu Bagudu, had told journalists in Awka that 24 of the petitions were on the House of Representatives elections.
However, the elected member representing Soludo’s constituency, Hon Dominic Okafor, is among those whose elections are being contested. Okafir’s election is challenged by the trio of Johnbosco Onunkwo (APC), Andrew Azike (LP), and Kenneth Anyaeche at the tribunal.
Speaking during Hon Okafor’s post inauguration thanksgiving Mass at St Peter’s Catholic Church, Igboukwu in Aguata Local Government Area on Sunday, Soludo said the people going to court to contest the victory should save their time and rest as the Reps member had been duly chosen by the people of the area.
Soludo, who congratulated the lawmaker, tasked him to raise the bar by going beyond legislation to seek ways of attracting development to the constituency and the state at large.
