Tribunal Fix May 28 To Begin The Trial Of Benue State Election Petitions.. by YoungG12(m): 12:26pm On May 18, 2019 |
The Governorship, National and
State Assembly Election Petitions
Tribunal in Benue State has fixed
May 28 to commence pre-trial on
the only governorship petition
before it. Tribunal secretary, Deborah
Musa, who disclosed this to the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN),
on Friday in Makurdi, said that all
court processes had been
completed and that the pre-trial was set to begin. Mr Emmanuel Jime of the All
Progressive Congress (APC), is
challenging the re-election of Gov
Samuel Ortom of the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP), in the
March 2, 2019 polls. In the petition filed by Mr Sunday
Ameh (SAN), Jime is asking the
tribunal to upturn Ortom’s victory
and declare him winner having
scored the highest number of
lawful votes cast. Mr Michael Gusa, Commissioner
for Justice and Attorney General
of Benue, has,however, said that
the governor was sure of victory
at the tribunal. “We are very hopeful of victory.
The governor’s team of lawyers
has raised a preliminary objection
asking the court to dismiss the
petition for lack of merit,” Gusa
had told NAN while filing Ortom’s defense.
