The Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Friday adjourned for judgment in the petition challenging the election of Darius Ishaku
The petition was filed by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the election held on March 9, 2019, Abubakar Danladi.
Akuma after adopting is final address, made a brief submission, in which he faulted the petitioners’ written address, which he argued, was filed out of time. Agabi equally prayed the tribunal to dismiss the petition on the grounds that the reliefs sought by the petitioners could not be granted. He said: “You cannot claim both grounds together. You cannot claim majority votes and also claim substantial non-compliance and corrupt practices. You cannot plea majority of lawful votes and also plead corrupt practices.”
The court also restrained INEC from recognising him as a candidate of the second petitioner ,”Agabi said. Liman faulted arguments by Akuma and Agabi, arguing that the petitioners’ reliefs were presented in the alternative.
