Tribunal sacks Ondo lawmaker


The election of Hon Nelson Akinsuroju, representing Ileoluji/Okeigbo constituency in the Ondo House of Assembly has been nullified. 

Hon Akinsuroju was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC). 

He was declared winner after polling 10,207 votes against 9287 votes polled by the PDP candidate.

He said ā€œthe judgment shall be studied and shall be appealed within the stipulated timeframe, as stated in the Electoral Act of 2022.ā€ 

The sacked lawmaker called for calm and assured the people that, their mandate would be protected.
