Tribunal ruling: I remain Ogun-East Senator, says #Kashamu

The senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the red chamber of the National Assembly, Senator Buruju Kashamu has debunked online media reports that his mandate had been annulled by the Ogun State election tribunal and sacked from the parliament.
Kashamu, who spoke to journalists Friday, said the election tribunal did not nullify his election, but only cancelled the results of the election in some polling units in the district.

He expressed appreciation to God and the people of his senatorial district for their support, and urged his constituents to sustain their support as he remained confident that he would triumph at the end of the day.
According to him, the tribunal cancelled the result of the election in 110 polling booths out of the over 1,135 polling units in the senatorial district.
“With that, I am still leading with 5,179 votes. I am left with 75,856 votes while Dapo Abiodun has 70,677 votes. How does that amount to the nullification of my election? What the tribunal said is that there would be a rerun in those polling units. Until the rerun is done, I remain the Senator representing Ogun East,” Kashamu said.

Kashamu, who described the tribunal judgment as a miscarriage of justice, vowed to seek redress at the Appeal Court and ensure that he was declared the outright winner.
He cited the case of Mimiko vs. Agagu as well as Aregbesola and Oyinlola where Agagu and Aregbesola faced similar contests at the tribunal but were declared winners at the end of the day.
“After the deduction of invalid votes, Agagu was declared the winner. The same thing happened in the case between Aregbesola and Oyinlola.

After the deduction of the invalid votes, Aregbesola was declared the winner. So, why did that not happen in this case? It is sheer daylight robbery and we shall slug it out in the Appeal Court. Let me say, however, that even if we have the rerun 20 times I will defeat my opponent because I am the choice of the people,” he boasted.

Kashamu cheer up. either u appeal d judgement or nt, or d election is cancelled or nt. at the end u must go US,..sorry i mean home.
