Nobody can claim power in court through backdoor, says APC’s Gov Alia
Benue governor Hyacinth Alia says Nigeria’s justice system is fair, just and transparent and will not allow political parties and their candidates to assume power through the backdoor.
Mr Alia said this while dedicating his victory at the governorship election petitions tribunal to God and the Benue people, according to a statement by his chief press secretary, Tersoo Kula.
The tribunal upheld Mr Alia’s victory and dismissed a petition filed by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate Titus Mba.
Mr Alia said the court demonstrated that it is the last hope of the common man.
“The court has demonstrated that no might is powerful enough to thwart the supreme will of the people. It has demonstrated that no one can claim power through the back door,” Mr Alia.
The governor assured the people he was committed to their welfare.
“The governor also enjoined members of the opposition to support his efforts toward building a state everyone would be proud of,” the statement added.
