Tribunal dismisses Uba Sani’s motion to dismiss Ashiru, PDP’s petition

BY Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

The ongoing Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Kaduna, has dismissed preliminary objection filed by Uba Sani on the timeliness of the petition filed by the PDP and its Candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru.

Sani had through his legal team argued that, the petition of the petitioners was filed outside the 21 days allowed by the law.

The court affirmed that the petition was filed on 10th April 2023.

The three man panel led by Justice Victor Oviawe, therefore dismissed the petition of Governor Uba Sani who is the second respondent in the case.

The tribunal is currently deciding on another potion filed by the defendants, which asked the court to dismiss the PDP and Ashiru’s petition for abandoning their petition.
