A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Israel Sunny-Goli has accepted the rulling of the Election Petition Tribunal which upheld the February 25,  2023 House of Representatives election of Hon. Marie Ebikake as member of the Brass/Nembe Federal Constituency of the state.

Hon. Israel Sunny-Goli also congratulated the PDP candidate, Hon. Marie Ebikake and declined the pressure to seek appeal against the Election Petition Tribunal.

Hon. Israel Sunny-Goli, in a statement issues in Yenagoa, said after assessing the recent judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal, delivered on Tuesday,  12th September 2023, which upheld the victory of my opponent in the February 23,  2023 House of Representatives election, for the Brass/Nembe Federal Constituency, Hon. Marie Ebikake, and the impediment a prolonged legal tussle poses to the development of our constituency, “I have arrived at the conclusion that it is best to accept the decision of the Elections Petitions Tribunal and not go on to appeal its decision.”

According to him,”My decision is predicated on my personal experience after the 2019 election, wherein, I was dragged before the Election Petition Tribunal and the court of appeal respectively by my opponent, who happens to be the same Hon. Ebikake. Without mincing words, I must admit that the legal tussle was unsettling and distractive, and I sincerely do not wish to be a clog in the wheel of progress for the very people I seek to serve, by stretching this legal tussle beyond the Election Petition Tribunal.”

“It is on this note that I congratulate Hon. Marie Ebikake on her victory in the February 2023 House of Representatives election, as well as the favourable judgement she got against me from the Election Petition Tribunal. I look forward to seeing her bring the dividends of democracy to our people as she settles down to the business of representing them in the National Assembly.”

“Let me also use this medium to encourage my supporters and followers alike. This is by no means an end to our political aspirations, as the future holds for us, prospects brighter than whatever we may have achieved in the course of our political journey.”

“I implore you to remain calm and hopeful, as this is only a temporary setback in our political voyage and we shall bounce back from it bigger, stronger and better. A new chapter with greater prospect awaits us, and soon, we shall have a reason to be thankful for the benevolence of God towards us”.
