Also dismissed were two other petitions filed against Rt. Hon Dumunamene Robinson Dekor by Mr. Naaku Paul of the Accord Party and Mr. Friday Nke-ee of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

The Tribunal dismissed all the petitions filed by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Social Democratic Party, SDP, and Accord Party, solidifying the credibility and integrity of the electoral process.

In a statement following the Tribunal's verdict, Rt. Hon. Dekor expressed gratitude to God for the victory.

The elated federal lawmaker also expressed deep appreciation to the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara for their support and encouragement during and after the election.

Rt. Hon. Dekor commended the good people of Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency for voting for him and also standing by him throughout the Tribunal proceedings.

He also expressed appreciation to the Tribunal for their impartiality and commitment to upholding democratic principles. 

He reiterated that his victory in the election has been reaffirmed and emphasized his commitment to serving Ogoni people faithfully and diligently.
