The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) yesterday urged aggrieved politicians in the 2015 General Elections to take their petitions and appeals to the electoral tribunal.
The Chairperson of CNPP, Anambra Chapter, Mrs Kate Okafor, said this to newsmen in Akili-Ozizor near Onitsha, Anambra when she led her members to pay a courtesy call on the senator-elect of Anambra North Senatorial Zone, Princess Stella Oduah.
Okafor noted that there was no need for any individual to take the law into his or her hand since there was competent court of electoral jurisdiction, the tribunal, to listen to their complaint and found a way to redress them.
``In politics, if you are aggrieved, you are free to go to the electoral tribunal.
``But that might not be for the senator-elect, Princess Stella Oduah, because she won fairly and squarely,’’ she said.
Okafor, who is also the chairperson of the Advanced Congress of Democrats, promised to work with Oduah to achieve most, if not all; she pledged to do for the people of Anambra North.
``We are also willing to go with her wherever she goes to make her tenure a memorable one,’’ she said.
According to the chairperson, Oduah is tested, resolute and a known achiever; someone liked and loved by many, hence the masses gave her massive support at the polls for the first time; why should we resist working with her?
`` Above all, her antecedents speak volume about her.”
Responding, Oduah, who is a former Minister of Aviation, thanked the CNPP for the solidarity visit and assured them that she would work to move the zone and entire state forward.
``There is a lot of work to be done in order to alleviate our people from poverty, lack and neglect that I have seen and felt first hand.
``We must work together for the betterment of our people and CNPP active partnership with my campaign organisation would make a whole lot of difference to the welfare and wellbeing of our people,’’ Oduah said.
