All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the Benue South Senatorial District, Mr Daniel Onjeh has appealed the National Assembly Tribunal judgment, which dismissed his petition against the election of former Senate President, Senator David Mark.
Onjeh said that his lawyers have already filed the appeal at the Court of Appeal, Makurdi Division.
The tribunal had ruled that Mr Onjeh filed his petition out of time.
But Mr Onjeh insisted that he filed within the time allotted by the Electoral Act.
The tribunal, on Thursday, struck out the petition filed by Mr Onjeh.
The former Senate President had asked the tribunal to dismiss Mr. Onjeh’s petition for filing outside the 21 days required by law.
