The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general elections, Isah Ashiru, on Tuesday, filed an application seeking for a recount of the votes cast during the March 9 governorship polls.

Ashiru’s counsel, Elisha Kurah (SAN), submitted the application to the Justice I. M Bako-led tribunal that commenced pre-hearing session in Kaduna.

Justice Bako, however, adjourned the session to May 25 to allow the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the two other respondents in the petition time to respond to the PDP’s application on votes recount.


Kurah who spoke to journalists shortly after the adjournment of the session urged the tribunal to order INEC for the recount of the votes cast.

He explained, “We filed an application requesting to recount the votes cast during the election.

“It is very crucial as we are alleging which is supported by the evidence we have that most of the results declared were phantom votes.


“They were back up by votes in the ballot boxes. So we want a complete recount of the votes cast in the governorship election.

“We are expecting that the results would show that the PDP actually won the election.

“But votes were just inflicted randomly just to make the APC have the semblance of winning.”

Counsel to PDP, Ibrahim Bawa (SAN), told newsmen that he also filed an application seeking that certain paragraphs of the respondents’ responses to ”our application be struck out for lack of merit.”

Meanwhile, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, Counsel to Gov Nasiru El-Rufai in a separate interview with newsmen said, “The petitioners of the PDP and its candidate, Isa Ashiru have four highly contentious applications.

“And we intend to oppose the applications on their merit. And the tribunal has given us a new date for us to come and argue the applications. So, the matter is adjourned for hearing of all the pending applications.

“We have a preliminary objection that the petition is not competent. They (PDP and Ashiru) have an application that they want the tribunal to direct that the ballots be counted one after the other in open court, and we intend to oppose those applications.”

According to him, the Electoral Act is in our favour, the Kaduna people have spoken. They picked Mal. El-Rufai and nothing is going to change that.

“We are here to defend the mandate the people have given to the governor. We intend to convince the tribunal that the petition lacks merit and it should be dismissed,” Mustapha said.

Bro nay nay life is not made that way no one is God and no one is bigger than God. Rufail is a man a mortal man indeed so no matter how wicked he is there are people who can still silent him.

Osama bin was not left alone because of the threat he posed. Saddam was not left alone because of his threat. GHADDAFI was not left alone because he is wicked and dangerous so let Rufail kill as many as he can he too will go down one good day.

Wicked man can never have peace.

why now that he's not Tinubu s best of friends? ¿? need we worry ?¿?
abi mere coincidence?

If the votes are analysed using forensic, I wonder if Buhari will have the over one million votes allocated to him in Boarno where the Governor could not campaign beyond Maiduguri and where NYSC have told us that the Boko Haram kidnapped Corp member Abraham violated the rules by going outside the 4 out of 27 LGAs that NYSC corpers were permitted to serve.
Elrufai and his cohorts faked the results and created crisis in Southern Kaduna with several attacks to avoid mass voting against him

People like you are the reason Nigeria is in bad shape. Always afraid of death.

Ok. Fingers crossed.
