The National/State Election Petition Tribunal in Makurdi on Thursday affirmed the election of the Deputy Speaker of Benue State
“The burden of proof is on him who asserts. The disparity in the name of a candidate in an election is not fatal to the person’s election. It is left to the individual on the nomenclature or designation more so if such individual is an adult.
“I wish to state unequivocally that having woefully failed to establish their claims and allegation against the first respondent, it will be unthinkable to hold that the petitioners have proved their case or let alone mention any entitlement in their favour. “Petitioners failed irredeemably to prove their case against the first respondent. The Petitioner’s lone witness failed to substantiate their case, indeed the quality and weight of the Petitioner’s witness is too weak and porous to sustain the petition.
