Paul Nnamchi (LP-Enugu State), a member of the House of Representatives, has praised the Court of Appeal for upholding his election as the representative of Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal Constituency in Enugu State.
Nnamchi made the remark in response to the appeal court’s verdict, which overruled the Electoral Petitions Tribunal’s decision in Enugu, which had voided his election as a member of the Green Chamber.
According to him, the Court of Appeal, which met in Lagos, endorses the people’s decision in the February 25, 2023 National Assembly election.
The politician promised to redouble his efforts to achieve effective people representation in the federal assembly.
He reaffirmed his commitment to provide effective representation to his constituents and the general public
“I thank my constituents for their trust and support, and I applaud the Court of Appeal for upholding the mandate overwhelmingly granted to me by my people.”
“I will continue to champion people-oriented legislations, as well as putting all the issues affecting my constituents and Nigerians at large on the front burner of discourse in the parliament,” he said in a statement.
Mr. Cornelius Nnaji of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenged Nnamchi, claiming there is “no victor and no vanquished.” (NAN)
