The Immediate past Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Toby Okechukwu, has congratulated the Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, on his victory at the election tribunal.
The Enugu Governorship election petition tribunal, sitting in Enugu, gave its judgement in favour of Governor Peter Mbah, who was the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP, in the last governorship election.
In a statement in Abuja, Okechukwu describes the judgement as a reflection of the general will of the people, who voted for the governor in the last general election.
He also lauds the civility of the Governor’s opponents in approaching the tribunal, saying that such move will strengthen democracy and cultivate civility amongst political actors.
The Former lawmaker who represented the people of Aninri/Agwu/Oji River Federal Constituency of Enugu State adds that the outcome of the tribunal further affirms the results from the various polling units, wards and local government areas of Enugu State.
Okechukwu also urges the petitioners to close ranks with Governor Mbah and place the interest of the people of Enugu State above theirs and contribute their quota to move the state forward.
