Against the backdrop of the judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal that ordered fresh poll in twelve (12) units of Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency, Honourable Bamidele, the sacked member representing the constituency at the House of Representatives has urged his supporters and the general public to stay calm.
In a message he signed shortly after the court judgement, Salam said the Tribunal’s decision does not align with the mood of the public as his mandate was given to him freely by the people.
He said, “the Tribunal has stated their position which clearly does not align with mood of our people who voted wholeheartedly for me as their Representative.”
“We are not dismayed however, because the mandate as freely given to me by the people and stamped by God, cannot be stolen by any man. Our victory at the February 23 House of Representatives poll is sacrosanct and this minor setback will only sweeten the taste of victory in our mouths.”
“My legal team will study the details of this judgment and decide the necessary course of action on it. We are focused and will not lose sight of the goals we have set for service delivery to our constituents”, he concluded.
