The Rivers State National and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has sacked Senator George Sekibo (Rivers East Senatorial District, PDP).
The three-man panel sitting at Apo Quarters in the Federal Capital Territory affirmed the petition of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Andrew Uchendu, declaring him the winner of the December 10 rerun election in Rivers East Senatorial District.
The court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to issue Uchendu a certificate of return and that of Senator Sekibo withdrawn.
The Tribunal ruled that Sekibo “became Senator through the back door.”
