The member House of Representatives representing Enugu East/Isi-Uzo Federal constituency at the National Assembly, Prof. Paul Nnamchi has rejected the outcome of the National Assembly Election Tribunal sitting in Enugu which nullified his election. The three-man tribunal had September 8, 2023 in its judgment nullified the election of the Labour Party member of  the National Assembly. Professor Nnamchi while rejecting the judgment of the Tribunal urged his teeming supporters to remain calm as he had implicit confidence in the judiciary to right the wrong.
In a Press Release by his Media Adviser, Sam Nwanze, Professor Nnamchi said: “I am not satisfied with the judgment of the tribunal which to me is not in accordance with the provisions of the law and expectation of my teeming supporters. Consequently, I have instructed my lawyers to proceed to appeal the matter at the Appeal Court which has the final say on the case and I am confident we will get justice at the Appeal Court. My confidence in the judiciary is not shaken by this judgment. I am hopeful justice will be served at the next level and the current verdict will be overturned at the appellate court.

“I want to use this opportunity and appeal to my teeming supporters to remain calm as we are hopeful to reclaim the mandate at the Appeal Court. I also use this opportunity to thank and appreciate all my supporters who have called to show solidarity and those who may not reach me. I can assure you all of my resolve to defend the mandate freely given to me through your votes by fighting to the end. It is not yet over” the statement concluded.
