Sen. Sharafadeen Alli (APC-Oyo South) has described the judgment of the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Ibadan as a reaffirmation that his electoral victory in February 25 election was well-deserved.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas and made available to newsmen on Wednesday said “the outcome of the tribunal’s verdict reaffirms that the election was won in a transparent and fair manner, and my victory was well-deserved,”.
The tribunal had dismissed the petition of the PDP Senatorial Candidate for Oyo South, Chief Joseph Tegbe challenging the victory of Alli, the APC Candidate in the election.
It dismissed the petition in its entirety for lacking in merit, saying the petitioner had failed to present cogent, reliable and compelling evidence sufficient to affect the result of the poll as declared by the third respondent, INEC.
He expressed appreciation to God as well as the people of Oyo South Senatorial District who gave him their mandate and stood by him throughout the process.
“I am deeply humbled and grateful to God for the victory at the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.
