‘Money can’t buy everything’, LP’s Ngozi Okolie blasts Ndudi Elumelu

 A member of the House of Representatives representing
Aniocha/Oshimili federal constituency of Delta State, Ngozi Okolie (LP), has
claimed that his opponent in the last general election, Ndudi Elumelu of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, knew he didn’t win the election but believed he
could buy everything with money.

 

According to Okolie, Ndudi who challenged his victory at the
election tribunal was only trying to “fish” and to see who could “fish” with
him.

 

The lawmaker alleged that the lower tribunal, which
nullified his election, “fished” with Ndudi.

 

Okolie made the claim while featuring on Arise Television on
Friday.

 

Recall that the court of appeal in Abuja on
Thursday set aside the earlier judgment of the National and State House of
Assembly Election Tribunal in Asaba, which nullified Okolie’s election and
returned Elumelu as the authentic winner.

 

The court claimed that the LP candidate was not qualified to
contest the poll.

 

However, Okolie claimed that Ndudi challenged his
declaration because he depended so much on his wealth.

 

He said, “Everybody that understands law knows very well
that the tribunal didn’t give justice in the judgement they gave, that’s why we
decided to go on an appeal. And thankfully to God the appeal court saw it
differently from the tribunal and restored the confidence most of us were
losing in the judiciary.

 

“Everybody that hears the judgement given by the appeal
court knows that something really went wrong in Asaba.

 

“The fact is that Ndudi is my friend, he knows very well
that he didn’t win the election but he has this erroneous believe that money
can buy everything.

 

“So, he depended so much on his wealth and unfortunately the
judges proved that money can not buy everything.

 

“He knows he lost the election. He knows everything he
brought to the tribunal – he was just trying to fish, to see who would fish
with him. The lower tribunal fished with him but the wiser men said, “No, money
can’t buy everything”.
