Law Professor at the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus, Prof. Peter Umeadi, has urged politicians to respect the ballots cast by the electorates during elections because “it remains the only credible and acceptable way to transit power in a democracy.”
Umeadi spoke when he paid a solidarity visit to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) chieftain, Senator Victor Umeh at his hometown in Agulu-uzoigbo, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Prof. Umeadi extolled Umeh “for his pioneer contributions in the establishment of APGA, followed by his sterling representation of Anambra Central Senatorial Zone in the last National Assembly.”
He reminded the Senator that more of such was still required and expected of him.
