Tribunal Sacks PDP Senator, James Manager

The Delta State National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Asaba, has nullified the election of James Manager as lawmaker representing Delta South Senatorial district.

Manager was elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Recall that his election was opposed by candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of the state, Emmanuel Uduaghan.

Uduaghan’s lawyer, Thomson Okpoko (SAN), told the tribunal that the February 23 National Assembly elections in the district was marred by massive rigging

He prayed the panel to cancel the election and order a fresh election.

In his ruling today, Chairman of the three-man panel, Justice E.I. Ngene, cancelled Manager’s election and ordered for a fresh one within 90 days.
