Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has demanded for 5 principal reliefs and asked the Court of Appeal to reverse the alternative ruling of the Kaduna Governorship Tribunal, ordering a supplementary election in the state.
It could be recalled that the judgement on September 28 became controversial when, in a double majority decision, the tribunal dismissed Isa Ashiru’s petition for non-compliance with the regulating laws, before proceeding to give an alternative ruling, favouring the petitioners.Isa Ashiru and the PDP are also before the Court of Appeal, challenging the dismissal.
“An order dismissing the alternative reliefs of the petition for a supplementary election in any polling unit in Kaduna State, which was granted by the tribunal. *Part of the decision of the Tribunal dismissing the cross-appellant’s motion challenging the petition on account of non-compliance with the Electoral Act, 2022.“The learned trial judges erred in law when they failed and/or refused to pronounce on the cross-appellant’s Motion on Notice, seeing the Tribunal ‘s order to pronounce on the cross-appellant’s preliminary objection before taking further steps in the proceeding.
*The learned trial judges erred in law when they placed reliance on the Forms EC40G series when their makers were neither called as witnesses nor any witness called from the respective polling units they relate to.”
