Adamawa REC Petitions NBA Over Planned Disciplinary Action

The acknowledged copy of the petition by Ari, titled: “Re: Fallout Concerning My Role As Resident Electoral Commissioner Concerning The 2023 Adamawa State Governorship Election, Request For Stay Of Action Thereto” was dated August 21, 2023, and addressed to the NBA president.

As a member of the NBA and a law-abiding citizen of Nigeria, Ari told the NBA president that the circumstances leading to his actions as INEC’s REC, which is allegedly the loadstar of his reference to the disciplinary committee is also the subject matter in suit no. FHC/ABJ/CS/935/2023; charge no. HC/ADSY/15/2023, and Election Petition No. EPT/AD/GV/01/2023, are all pending before superior courts of record in Nigeria.

“Indeed, on 22nd July, 2023, I would have had an opportunity of presenting those facts at the Adamawa State Governorship Tribunal, for the benefit of the whole public and for posterity’s sake, but for the sustained objection of the respondents who objected to my being a witness in the petition of Aishatu Ahmed Dahiru,” Ari told the NBA.

He further wrote: “With the preceding in mind, I am constrained, out of my deepest respect for the NBA and the rule of law, to only, briefly, state the facts, in order keep you abreast with the events that led to the subject matter of the alleged intention to bring me before the Disciplinary Committee and which, as I earlier mentioned, is still subject of various litigations.
