The National Assembly Petition Tribunal sitting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital has dismissed three case filed by the candidates of the Peoples’ Democratic Party challenging the election of three candidates of the All Progressives Congress in the 2019 general election.
Justice Adeck also said that the petitioner, Faseyi failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt as required by the law. The PDP and its candidates, through their counsel, Ahmed Raji SAN had petitioned the APC ,its candidates and the Independent National Electoral Commission claiming that the APC had no candidates for Ekiti North Senatorial District, Ekiti North Federal Constituency I and II, where Senator Olubunmi Adetumbi ,Peter Owolabi and Ibrahim Olanrewaju were declared winners respectively by INEC .
The petitioners also deposed that there was no valid candidates for APC since no primaries was held by the first respondent and the nomination of the second respondents was null and void. “We also argued that the tribunal lacks the loco standi to entertain the petition since it is a preelection matter and only the aspirant who participated in the primaries can challenge the process in line with Section 87 sub 1 of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended”
