Abia: APC loses at Tribunal
Delivering a unanimous judgment on Tuesday, the Chairman of the three-member panel, Justice Adeyinka Adebirigbe, dismissed the petition on the ground that the petitioner failed to prove allegations of electoral irregularities.
Nwogu specifically alleged irregularities in 215 polling units in the area during the Feb. 23 poll and urged the tribunal to order a rerun. It held that the petitioner only called one polling unit agent as witness out of the 215 polling units which, it said, was not enough to prove her case. In a reaction, the counsel for PDP, Mr Obinna Nkume, hailed the judgment, saying that it would stand the test of time.
