The All Progressives Congress (APC), Bauchi State chapter, has alleged that the fact-finding committee sent by the Independent National Electoral Commission to probe the irregularities in the governorship election of March 9 denied the party fair hearing.
Uba Nana, the state chairman of the party, made the allegation at a press conference in Bauchi on Saturday.
“The fact-finding Committee chaired by Festus Okoye, the National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee denied fair hearing to APC as a political party whose agents were not invited during hearing of the facts leading to the cancellation of the results of Tafawa Balewa LGA.
He said this was proved by the fact that PDP and Mr Dogara on Facebook pre-empted the outcome of the committee’s finding before formal publication by INEC. “Unfortunately, the extant decision of INEC reversing the cancellation of Tafawa Balewa Results was earlier sought for but refused by the court in the said suit at interim stage. Now INEC has granted what was refused by the court of law in the interest of justice,” he said.
