The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos on Wednesday, November 22, has upheld the ruling of Tribunal by declaring Governor Bassey Otu as the winner of the March 16 governorship election.
The Appeal had dismissed the Appeal by Sen Sandy Onor and PDP against Prince Bassey Otu as lacking in meirt.
The governorship tribunal had earlier dismissed the petition by Sen Sandy Onor and PDP brought before it against Prince Bassey Otu and APC.
The tribunal had held that the matter before it was a pre-election matter.
Reacting to the judgement of the Court of Appeal, the Director General of Caterpillar Movement, Chief Joe Obi Bisong, in release he personally signed and sighted by Theluminenews, said that the judgement did not represent the full conviction of the processes that led to the election and they will seek further legal opinion on the next steps.
The release reads in parts, “The judgement does not reflect the full conviction of our position on the processes leading to the leading to the election.
We shall seek further legal opinion on the next possible steps.
“We urge all our teeming supporters to remain calm and go about their legitimate businesses.
“We are confident that justice shall surely be ultimately done.”
