Sen. Stella Oduah Reacts to Sack Allegations

 

Senator Stella Oduah has reacted to reports that she has been ousted from the Nigerian senate by the Supreme Court on Friday.

According to a statement from her spokesperson, Cynthia Ferdinand, the rumors were merely a misinterpretation of facts.

‎
"It is however pertinent to note that this is a mere misinterpretation of the Supreme Court rulings and‎ should be disregarded in all entirety‎," the statement read.

"The Supreme Court did not order the withdrawal of the Certificates of Return issued by the Commission to our clients.

"They did not hold that the faction of the PDP had the right to sponsor candidates for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

"They did not equally authorize the Commission to substitute our clients with the individuals whose names were on the list improperly allowed by the Commission in obvious disregard of the series of judgments of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the effect that it is only the National Executive of the party that has the vires to sponsor candidates.
