Power outage stalls proceedings at Anambra election tribunal, forces long adjournment - Punch Newspapers

The tribunal, chaired by Justice L.O. Ogundana, while adjourning proceedings at the tribunal, turned down the offer by a counsel to one of the defendants, who volunteered to provide diesel to power the generating set at the judiciary complex.

Justice Ogundana was presiding over a petition with reference EPT/AN/SEN/05/2023, which was brought before the three-man panel by the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in the 2023 Anambra Central Senatorial election, Dozie Nwankwo against the Labour Party candidate, Senator Victor Umeh.

However, the counsel to INEC had earlier offered to donate the diesel for the court complex generating set, but the panel’s Chairman declined the offer, saying he didn’t want the gesture to be misinterpreted.He therefore lamented the uncomfortable nature of the courtroom, saying the tribunal hopes that by the next adjourned date, electricity supply would have been restored in the complex.
