Thaddeus Attah, the House of Representatives member representing Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, has refuted recent reports suggesting that he was removed from office by the tribunal.
According to the reports, the petition tribunal in Lagos State made a decision to nullify the House of Representatives election results for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency.
These reports further alleged that the tribunal invalidated the victory of the Labour Party candidate, who had initially been declared the winner.
But reacting, Attah on his Twitter page said he was not sacked.
According to him, the tribunal ordered a supplementary election in the 32 polling units where election did not hold.
“No cause for alarm! I am here to clarify that I was not sacked. The Tribunal has simply ordered a re-run (supplementary election) in the 32 polling units where elections did not hold.
“We will continue working for Etiosa.
“I urge constituents to keep calm as we are unshaken. We will get through this together,” he said.
