Anxiety As Tribunal Delivers Judgement On Kaduna Governorship Today
The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Kaduna will deliver its decision today on the petition brought before it by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Isa Ashiru, challenging the victory of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) governor, Uba Sani, in the 2023 general election.
It was reported that party faithful and political players are concerned, especially after the Kano State tribunal ruled against the sitting governor.
Uba Sani had petitioned the Kaduna Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, through his lead counsel, former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN), to dismiss the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Isa Ashiru.
In response to the governor’s petition to the tribunal, Ashiru presented 24 witnesses to testify in the suit through his counsel, Oluwole Iyamu (SAN).
According to Uba in his final speech through his attorney: “The petitioners had helped in proving he won the poll fair and square, pointing in particular to the admission of a star witness for the petitioner, Bonett Gwazah, a senior system analyst (SSA) in the VR/ICT Department of INEC in Kaduna State.”
According to Isa Ashiru of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his party, “we were robbed of our victory, and we are committed to reclaiming our stolen mandate as well as providing evidence to that effect while the case lasts.”
