The three-member tribunal panel led by Denis Echesi, in a unanimous judgement, dismissed the petition filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Danbaba Danbuwa.
The Election Petitions Tribunal in Sokoto State on Wednesday upheld the victory of a former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal as the duly elected senator of Sokoto South Senatorial District.
The tribunal held that the petitioners, APC and its candidate, failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result, they were ordered to pay a fine of N200,000 to each of the respondents. “Ultimately, the tribunal found the evidence presented by the petitioners to be unreliable, often contradictory, and frequently based on hearsay, including the documents they submitted.
On the other hand, Chris Ndeoyiro, the counsel of the petitioners, said his clients will wait for a copy of the tribunal’s judgment to review its contents before deciding on their next course of action.From North to South: ARCs expansion across Nigeria, By Abdulrahman Usman Leme
