The senator had on Monday explained why he refused to accept the petition from INEC.
He told journalists that accepting any “purported’’ petition from the electoral commission would amount to breaching the 1999 Constitution.
According to him, the 90-day deadline set for INEC on the matter by Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution has expired.

He was accused of poor of representation of the constituency at the Senate.
