Senator Chris Ngige who contested the governorship election in Anambra state on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), on November 16 last year and challenged the winner, Willie Obiano of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) up the supreme court, has finally congratulated the winner, Obiano, but said he is awaiting the judgment of God Almighty on the same matter.
Ngige, who represents Anambra Central in the Senate, congratulated Obiano for his victory at the Supreme Court on Monday, but described it as a ‘verdict of humans.’
Ngige in a statement on Tuesday in Awka, requested all the people of Anambra state to support Obiano to succeed in the state even as he said: “we wait for the Most Supreme and eternal judgment of the Almighty God on this same matter at His appointed time. God is great and wonderful.”
The Senator commended his supporters for their resilience, massive unrelenting support, which had always been there for him in all his electoral engagements and duels in the state.
Obiano floored Ngige and Comrade Tony Nwoye on Monday at the Supreme Court following the 2013 governorship election in the state.
According to the statement, signed by Ngige yesterday: “this Supreme Court judgment and other judgments of the various lower courts that upheld an election which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had admitted fell below expectations, for me, is a verdict of humans.
“The judgment of the good people of Anambra has been long delivered to me since the day voters from Idemili North, Idemili South, Awka South, Ogbaru local governments (Okpoko) and my other strong holds were disenfranchised on that fateful November 16, 2013.
“We all as mortals will now wait for the Most Supreme and eternal judgment of the Almighty God on this same matter at His appointed time. God is great and wonderful”
“However, having been declared the “legal winner” of that election, I hereby congratulate Mr. Willie Obiano and wish him well in his new assignment. I also use this medium to request all Anambra people irrespective of political party or religious affiliations, to cooperate with him in the discharge of the onerous functions of his office”
“As for my numerous supporters across the state, we have all fought a good fight and the future holds out a better tomorrow than yesterday”.
“I therefore wish to thank them for their resilience, massive and unrelenting support, which has always been there for me in all my electoral engagements and duels in our state” the Senator stated.
