Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Labour Party, LP, has warned that \u2018four dangerous things will happen\u2019 if the Supreme Court does not overturn the decision of the Court of Appeal, which dismissed the appeal of its governorship candidate in Enugu State, Chijioke Edeoga.<\/p>\n

The LP reiterated that the ruling of various election tribunals and the Court of Appeal against its gubernatorial candidate and some of its legislators in Enugu State do not reflect the electoral position of the people of the state.<\/p>\n

The party noted that the tribunal and the appeal court did not consider its evidences.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by Mallam Umar Farouk, its<\/p>\n

National Secretary, the party listed its evidences to include, \u201cPDP\u2019s Peter Mbah was at the time of the election not qualified to contest the election into the office of Governor of Enugu State having presented a forged NYSC discharge Certificate to INEC in contravention of Section 182(1)(j) of the 1999 Constitution As Amended.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvidence to prove this came from the NYSC Director of Certification who was subpoenaed by the tribunal to say that Mbah was parading a forged NYSC certificate. Earlier before this the Director General of the NYSC Brig Gen. Y.D. Ahmed had gone on national Television, ARISE TV to say that Mbah was parading a forged NYSC certificate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Labour Party Candidate also tendered an NYSC disclaimer letter dated 2\/2\/23 which was admitted as Exhibit EPT01\/8A& B. PW2 from the legal firm Omas & Partners also a subpoenaed witness. And who was the person who wrote NYSC for confirmation of Mbah\u2019s NYSC discharge certificate? She tendered in evidence the original disclaimer letter from the NYSC and her letter to the NYSC.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso tendered was a Letter of appointment dated July 14 2003 appointing him Chief of Staff to the then Governor of Enugu State Dr Chimaroke Nnamani when he claimed to be serving in Lagos as a Corps Member.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso tendered as evidence from INEC staff was Mbah\u2019s Form EC9 (Nomination Form and Affidavits of Personal particulars) and it was confirmed the said forged NYSC Certificate was attached to his Form EC9.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso tendered but rejected by the tribunal and court of Appeal as not enough the various witness statements confirming over-voting, the act of non-compliance complained by our candidate in Nkanu East and Igboeze North LGAs and the failure of INEC to cancel the results in places where there were incidences of over-voting as demanded by the Electoral Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Enugu state, we need to remind Nigerians and all lovers of democracy that the Labour Party won 2 of the three Senate seats, Seven of the Eight House of Representatives seats, and 14 majority of the 24 state House of Assembly seats but INEC and Judiciary are trying to give the governorship to another party.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur position is that if this stands at the Supreme Court, four major and dangerous things will happen: the will and desire of Enugu people as demonstrated in their voting pattern on March 8 will be undermined, forgery of the NYSC certificate and indeed other certificates will be legalized, NYSC as a credible national institution in the country will be destroyed and the military who oversees the NYSC as a paramilitary body will be dented.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Appeal therefore is for the Apex Court to look judiciously at all the evidence and the law in the Enugu case and do Justice and nothing short of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
