yesterday tendered electoral documents against the petition filed by the Social Democratic Party and its candidate, Murtala Ajaka, challenging the election victory of Governor Usman Ododo.
Others include INEC Form EC8B; INEC Form EC8E; List of Accredited Agents for SDP; List of Accredited Ward Agents; Receipts of Payment for Forms, among others. Njoku applied for an adjournment to enable the electoral umpire present its witnesses on the next adjourned date.The judge, who observed that the SDP’s petition would elapse on May 29, said there was the need to amend the number of days earlier given for the second and third respondents to present their case and for the filing of the final written addresses of the parties.
Justice Birnin-Kudu assured the parties that where five days would not be enough, the panel would not hesitate to give additional days.But APC’s counsel, Emmanuel Ukala , pleaded with the tribunal not to reduce the earlier days given to prepare their defence.
