“I am overwhelmed by the support l got from the people of Plateau from April to date.

“My supporters filled the premises of the tribunal. This gave me strength.

”I want to assure them that all is well with our petition and by God’s grace, judgment will be in our favour,” he said.

Earlier, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, Useni’s Counsel in the matter , told newsmen: “we have been able to prove to the tribunal that our client was robbed of his victory”.

Ozekhome, who gave praises to the God for His grace, said that it wasn’t easy getting the witnesses to come forward to testify in court. (NAN)
