He said the Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeal erred in entertainment the petition that led to sack of some legislators.
Hon. Alex Kwapnoe is of the opinion that unborn generations must be bequeathed a legacy of hope, justice, equity and fairness.
“My stand is unequivocally put, therefore that those who commit breaches must be severly penalized as a deterrence to future polls thieves.
“The Appeal Court Justices found guilty must not be allowed to transmute to the Supreme court.
“Those who engineered this loot of the people’s mandate must not be allowed to enjoy this truncation of the peoples will.”vox Populi vox dei”
“Having been caught, they should return the mandate by honorably resigning their positions to allow for a ‘repeat election’ which would enable the people truly choose who they want,since there is a lacuna in the justice system that seems to foist them on the people and country.
Hon. Kwapnoe called for integrity and good moral standing on the path of the judiciary, the political class and all Nigerians to tackle the moral deficit being occasioned in the Nation.
He said upholding truth and dispensing justice without being influenced by any form of sentiments and biases are key to achieving a corrupt-free and progressive Nation which he said has the propensity to translate to a prosperous Nation.
