Emmanuel Uduaghan, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the Delta south senatorial election, says the election tribunal should have declared him winner of the February 23 poll. He said this in reaction to the tribunal’s removal of James Manager, his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rival. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Manager winner of the election but Uduagahn challenged Manager’s victory. On Saturday, the tribunal annulled the election and ordered INEC to conduct a fresh one within 90 days.

RE-How I make a Payback for a lecturer who failed me for 6 years in the University. Do you remember the viral post some months which this platform also published  about a guy who claimed he was unduly failed severally by a LAUTECH lecturer  for a misdemeanor in Biology practicals?       He further claimed the same man and his family were at his mercy years later, begging for a part-time WAEC job.
