Kashamu’s Appeal Suffers Set Back As Court Dissolves Panel by Eleniyan15: 1:32pm On Nov 25, 2015 |
As a result of the dissolution of the panel
headed by Justice Tobi Ebiowel, the appeal
filed by Senator Buruji Kashamu at the
Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan, Oyo state,
contesting the nullification of his election in
the March 28 senatorial poll suffered
setback on Tuesday, November 24.
Kashamu had been declared by the
Independent National Electoral Commission
as the winner of the election on the platform
of the Peoples Democratic Party to
represent Ogun East senatorial district at the
National Assembly.
But the state National Assembly election
petition tribunal nullified the election thereby
ordering for a rerun in 110 polling units
within Ogun East senatorial district.
According to Leadership, Journalists, lawyers
and political party supporters who besieged
the court as early as 8.30 am were
disappointed as the court refused to
entertain the Kashamu’s appeal based on
bribery allegation levelled against the lower
tribunal.
The report disclosed that shortly after
counsels to all the parties in the case,
journalists and other stakeholders had taken
their seats, at about the time the
proceedings was to commence, an official of
the court walked into the court room to
announce the dissolution of the appeal
panel.
Further in his announcement in the court,
the official said that the directive on the
dissolution of the appeal panel was from the
president of the Court of Appeal.
He said that the president noted that a new
panel had been reconstituted to handle the
case, adding that the concerned parties
would be duly informed of the new date for
the commencement of the hearing of the
case.
However, there had been a two-page petition
advertised in two national dailies on Monday,
November 23, which accused the Appeal
Court of possible bias.
It was on that basis that speculation arose
that the court president resolved to dissolve
the initial panel from hearing the case.
Meanwhile, Kashamu recently came under
heavy attack from the All Progressives
Congress in Ogun state over a petition
against the national and state assemblies
elections petitions tribunal in the state. source https://www.naij.com/648172-kashamus-appeal-suffered-set-back.html |
