Benue guber: ACN heads to Supreme Court



The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Benue State has declared its intention to challenge at the Supreme Court the dismissal of the election petition filed by its governorship candidate Professor Torkuma Ugba in respect of last year’s election.
The Senate Minority leader and former governor of the State, Senator George Akume told party supporters from Benue East at Wannue, Tarka Local Government area that the appeal court got it all wrong on the time frame for deciding election petitions hence the planned recourse to the apex court.
Akume doubles as  the ACN leader in the state.
He said Governor Gabriel Suswam and his supporters were rejoicing too early on the issue.
He said : “ I’m going to fix Governor Gabriel Suswam in a way he will remain fixed forever and will  never forget in his life by  the time the election petition is over.”
Also speaking , Professor Ugba assured the party supporters that he has not abandoned his mandate to  run to the USA as allegedly rumoured by PDP .
He said the matter would be tabled before the Supreme Court next month and appealed to the ACN faithful to remain calm and steadfast in their support.
