The Akwa Ibom State chapters of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressives Congress, APC, are in a fresh disagreement over the proceedings at the ongoing Election Petitions Tribunal, sitting in the state.
Another reason given by Okopido on why Justice Ijohor should resign stems from the fact that her husband, Prof. Tony A. Ijohor, SAN, is currently the Secretary to the Benue State Government, SSG, under a PDP governor. “For the avoidance of doubt, the state chairman of that broom confraternity ought to be aware that election petitions are sui generis and therefore not all the rules of civil procedure apply therein.
“The amendments sought by the APC has the capacity to change the tone and character of their petition, this, the law clearly forbids.” The PDP faulted the APC for seeking to rely on the Bulkachuwa scenario in making its application because the two scenarios could be clearly distinguished.
