CJN asked to probe verdicts affirming Ndume as winner of Borno senatorial poll

Sesugh Akume, a businessman, has asked Olukayode Ariwoola, chief justice of Nigeria , to probe some judges over their verdicts on the Borno south senatorial district election.

Dissatisfied, Kudla Satumari and the Peoples Democratic Party filed petitions against INEC and Ndume.In a petition to the CJN, Akume said the courts rendered “questionable opinions” to arrive at “predetermined judgments”. “In the said election petition tribunal judgment, the judges arrived at many conclusions that the Court of Appeal found to be perverse and repeatedly stated so on the record.“The tribunal held that further evidence provided in response to a counter filed by the opposing side was inadmissible for being filed out of time as it ought to have been filed from the outset.

“These are two of numerous ludicrous holdings by the tribunal to arrive at what appears to be a predetermined judgment, walking from the answer to the question, just in order to return the third respondent as the duly-elected senator for Borno south.”“Some screenshots of Senator Ndume’s supporters sharing the outcome of the judgment on the morning of 8 September before it was delivered are here annexed and marked as ‘Annexure 2 ’,” he said.
