His words: ” Though there was glaring evidence of malpractice including non transmission of results electronically during the conduct of Benue North West Senatorial election. I have taken the decision to withdraw my case at the Tribunal, as the Bible says in John 3: 27 that ” A man shall receive nothing except it is giving to him from above”.
