Senate minority leader, Senator Tanimu Aduda has resolved to challenge the National Assembly election result for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which produced Ireti Kingibe as Senator -elect.
Aduda, is the senator representing FCT at the 9th senate.
The lawmaker spoke on Thursday at the National Assembly, saying his plan to challenge result of the election arose from the fact that result was reportedly announced when collations at the Abuja Municipal Area Council ( AMAC), were yet to be completed and even with utter disregard to results cancelled in other polling units across the 62 wards in Six Area Councils.
“The election as guided by the extant laws used by the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC), is supposed to have been declared inconclusive .
“Pointedly in substantial numbers of the polling units, there were over voting which led to cancellation of results that supposed to have been revisited by INEC through rescheduled election but from nowhere, we had that results were declared.
“We are going to challenge it”, he said .
Commenting on capacity and service delivery to FCT residents over the years, Senator Aduda observed: “Within my twelve years in the Senate and eight years in the House of Representatives, a lot of development – driven projects have been facilitated by me across the 62 wards and Six Area Councils, many of which are still ongoing”
“I believe it is the person declared as winner of the election that has no capacity because if she has the capacity common google will show her what I have done” Aduda said.
