Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has said he will offer the best senatorial representation to the people of Ebonyi South District, and further advance the cause of Ndi Igbo and disadvantaged Nigerians if elected in the 2023 general election.
This was contianed in a statement signed by the governor’s Special Assistant on Media and Strategy, Chief Chooks Oko, on Friday.
Umahi was reacting to his victory at the Appeal Court, where he was affirmed as the authentic All Progressives Congress(APC) senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had on Friday, dismissed an appeal filed by Ann Agom-Eze and also set aside the judgement of a Federal High Court in Enonyi State and all the orders it made over Umahi’s victory during the APC primary.
Umahi lauded the judiciary for its forthrightness and dependability as an impartial arbiter in human conflicts, adding that with the judgement, the court has once again asserted its inviolate position as the hope of all seekers of justice.
“My journey to the Nigerian senate is the will of God. I want to express gratitude to God for the just-delivered judgement of the Abuja Court of Appeal which confirmed me as the authentic flag bearer for the Ebonyi South Senatorial election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
“Consequently, I heartily appreciate the citizens of the senatorial district in particular, and the entire state for their prayers, steadfastness and goodwill which culminated in the victorious judgement.
“I wish to seize this opportunity to strengthen my vow of offering the best senatorial representation to the good people of the senatorial district even as I pledge to use the position to further advance the cause of Ndi Igbo and disadvantaged Nigerians,” He said.
He called on all stakeholders in the district to join hands with him and the APC to deliver other quality candidates in the 2023 general elections.
