Tribunal Orders INEC Chairman to Appear in Court Thursday via thisdaylive

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday ordered the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission , Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to appear before it on Thursday by 12noon.

The petitioners had filed two applications on July 9 seeking an order of court to compel INEC Chairman to physically appear before the tribunal and present certain documents listed by the petitioners and the Zamfara REC to produce the election results for Zamfara State in the presidential poll. Counsel to the petitioners, Chief Chris Uche SAN, had on resumption of proceedings on Wednesday lamented that the commission was yet to respond to the tribunal’s subpoena served on the chairman and the Zamfara REC.

But in a short ruling, Presiding Justice of the five man panel, held that orders of Court were sacrosanct and must be obeyed.
