The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal, NAEPT, sitting in Minna has dismissed the petition filed by Mohammed Nazeer of the Peoples Democratic
Party , challenging the victory of Shehu Saleh of the All Progressives Congress for the Magama/Rijau Federal Constituency.
Nazeer had approached the tribunal, urging it to declare him the rightful winner of the February 25 polls, having scored the majority votes in the election, claiming the result was manipulated in favour of the respondent, Shehu Sale. Reviewing the petition, Justice Angela Otaluka declared that all the issues raised and the pieces of evidence tendered before the Tribunal were all immaterial and inconsequential and lacked merit, and dismissed the petition for lack of merit.
Isah had called on the Tribunal to declare him the rightful winner of the February 25 National Assembly Election to represent Agaie/Lapai Federal Constituency, alleging that he got the majority of votes cast.
