The member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Mr Benson Roland Igbakpa, has been sacked by the Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Asaba, Delta State.
Agoda had urged the tribunal to declare him as the rightful winner of the 23rd February 2019 National Assembly Election in the constituency, arguing that the exercise was marred by electoral irregularities
The APC candidate had told the tribunal to cancel the election or, in the alternative, declare him the winner having polled the highest number of valid votes cast during the election.
Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice A.M. Abubakar, while delivering the judgement on Friday, after listening to the issues raised, declared Agoda as the rightful winner of the election.
Speaking immediately after the judgment, Agoda, who thanked the judiciary for the courage to right the wrong, dedicated the victory to the people of Ethiope Constituency who voted him as member of the National Assembly.
