PDP seeks rerun of Kwara central senatorial election

Date: 2015-11-27

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the March 28th senatorial election for Kwara central senatorial district, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdullrasak, has urged the Court of Appeal to nullify Dr. Bukola Saraki's election.

He also prayed the court to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to hold fresh election for the seat on the ground that the one held on March 28, was marred by "substantial irregularities and corrupt practices".

Abdulrasaq said he is not satisfied with the ruling of Justice Josiah Majebi led National Assembly election tribunal, which upheld Saraki's election. He alleged that the tribunal failed to appropriately use the documents tendered in evidence against his opponent in the election.

He therefore sought a relief from the Court of Appeal to set aside the decision of the lower tribunal which affirmed the election of Bukola Saraki. Abdulrasaq, in a statement described the judgment as shameful.

"The tribunal's verdict belongs to the dark art of voodoo jurisprudence. I say this with more sorrow than anger, ?but principally because I want a Nigerian judiciary that is as good as any other. To ensure this, the National Judicial Council must be pro-active in curbing rogue justice. It ought not to wait for complaints before it acts," he said.

The Private Personal Assistant to Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, Mr?. Adebayo Lateef Oloyin, said all documents relating to the proceeding at the tribunal have been transmitted to the Court of Appeal, including notice of service to all respondents.

Oloyin also petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase?, against what he described as alleged criminal conduct during the Kwara Central senatorial district election.

He appealed to the police boss to look into the matter and take action.
