Anambra governorship election petition tribunal begins sitting in Ilorin

Date: 2022-02-15

The Anambra State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Monday commenced sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The Election Tribunal, chaired by Justice Balikisu Mohammed, has Justices Edem Akpan and H. O. Oyanjimi as members.

After its formal inauguration at the Kwara Sharia Court of Appeal complex, the tribunal commenced pre-hearing process in respect of the 13 petitions against the victory of Charles Soludo, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, one of which was later withdrawn.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, as the winner of the November 6 and 9, 2021 gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

One of the remaining 12 cases is a petition filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress at the poll, Senator Andy Uba.

Uba and the APC are questioning the election on the ground that it was marred with irregularities that contravened the provisions of the Electoral Act.

Justice Mohammed, however, granted the respondents time to file their responses and adjourned to February 21 for hearing of preliminary applications.
