Tribunal holds that the Practice direction does not exclude the use of initials; the use is for security purposes.#AkwaIbom


There is no merit in PDP's Application and it is therefore dismissed. #AkwaIbom


Second ruling is going on.This also bothers on the competence of the petition which was brought forward by 1st respondent(Udom).#AkwaIbom


The contention here is,petitioners'witness statements on oath was taken b4 d secretary of d tribunal & not a commissioner for oath.#AkwaIbom


Tribunal holds that the secretary is competent in law to administer the oath.Application by 1st respondent is therefore dismissed.#AkwaIbom

Third reading is being read...Challenging the competence of the petition and jurisdiction of the tribunal...#AkwaIbom

..on the ground that Pre-hearing Notice was not properly issued.#AkwaIbom


The 3rd,4th & 5th rulings are being taken together;3rd; 4th are alike while the 5th is challenging the...#AkwaIbom

..competence of the 1st petitioner to stand in for the election on the ground that he was not validly nominated by his party.
#AkwaIbom


Tribunal holds that the 1st and 2nd respondents established extreme circumstances to warrant the......grant of prayer one (i.e, that the application be heard outside prehearing conference).#AkwaIbom



Tribunal holds that the respondents knew that the pre-hearing notice was not paid for yet they participated in the section #AkwaIbom


They are estopped from complaining that payment was not made. The respondents having taken steps participated in the pre-hearing ...conference and the trial are therefore estopped from complaining of any irregularities and therefore the Applications fail. #AkwaIbom


On the 5th ruling,Tribunal holds that the 1st respondent establishes circumstances for the relief 1 of the...#AkwaIbom


Tribunal further holds dat it has jurisdiction to entertain an applicatn on whether a candidate was duly nominated in it's primary.#AkwaIbom


It is an aspirant not a candidate who can complain of non-compliance in a party's primary.


A party who neither participated as an aspirant nor as a candidate under a party cannot challenge the outcome of the primary. #AkwaIbom

following................

Tribunal further holds that,1st petitioner is a duly nominated & valid candidate of APC in April 11,2015 governorship election in #AkwaIbom


.since they complied with the notice given by INEC. The three Applications therefore fail for lacking in merit. #AkwaIbom


There is yet a 6th ruling which is challenging the jurisdiction of tribunal on the ground that the running mate of Chief Umana...#AkwaIbom

...is not qualified to stand as such being a staff of FCTA at the time of the election and therefore invalidated Umana's candidacy.#AkwaIbom
