The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Kaduna, Friday, dismissed the petition brought by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives Candidate for Kaura Federal Constituency, Kaduna State, Rt Hon Gideon Gwani, seeking to invalidate the election of his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Hon Donatus Mathew.

Donatus, a former Okada rider was returned elected in the House of Representatives election conducted on February 25th, 2023 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Not satisfied with the outcome of the election, Gideon Gwani, who was the Minority whip at the 9th Assembly in the House of Representatives, filed a petition at the tribunal seeking to invalidate Donatus’s victory.

Delivering judgment in the matter, Friday, Justice F.A. Fiberesima who was a member of a three-man panel that heard the petition, dismissed the case and awarded N1.6 million to Donatus.

Fielding questions from Reporters, counsel to the respondent, Mr. Zakari Sogfa, said two prayers were brought by the petitioner.

“The first prayer was that the Respondent, Hon Donatus was not qualified to contest the election that produced him as the party’s flag bearer for Kaura Federal Constituency on the ground that he was not sponsored by his political party and the other prayer was that there were electoral malpractices in five areas.

“But delivering the judgment the two prayers were struck out by the Tribunal for lack of merit.

“The Tribunal further ruled that Gwani did not have the right to determine to a political party who should sponsor its candidate other than who should fly its flag and how it should go with its elections,” he said.

Speaking further, Sogfa said the council couldn’t have nullified the election as prayed, adding that such would amount to interfering in political party affairs, “more so when the issue canvassed was a pre-election matter”.

The minority whip in the 9th assembly, but defeated by an Okada rider.

This shows us the power of the people. Former or ex or previously Rt Hon Gideon Gwani was defeated by currently Hon Donatus, a former okada rider. Power changed hands.

With our PVCs, we can decide who we want. If bad leaders are allowed to sit and thrive in positions of power, the people suffer more hardship and misery.

Good

I don laugh tire

But the SW fake news merchants went on overdrive yesterday with their fake news.

LP has come to stay. LP is actually a movement of patriotic Nigerians who have decided to take their destinies into their hands. I only believe that political jobbers who have infiltrated the system don't destroy the movement. The native doctor will soon destroy his entire generation just because enemies of Nigeria hired him.

Politics is taking away our business men

Obi grace na sure...Dem even file PDP man 1.6million, we need him, in my country 🤣

Fuckjones, is this the Sun Newspaper you were talking about or is it another Sun?

And you are blind to see the power of the people, in that of the president

Hmmm this judgement favour LP now

Congratulations to him

This is a big rape on our democracy. The Tribunal judges erred by law to uphold the election of Mr Donatus.

I urge the petitioner to approach the Appeal court.

DSS must as a matter of urgency investigate All the tribunal judges.

This is miscarriage of kustice.

I condemn it I condemn it I condemn it I condemn it.

This ruling will not stand.

He won but these ewedu people quickly went online to dish fake news just to spite LP.

Ah. I only see the power of misery, hunger, poverty and sorrow in people like you. Eight years of Buhari, yet your heart is hardened by the hardship that you enjoy. Continue.

You are like that grasshopper wey dey roast inside fire, still dey boast say na oil dey comot for him body.
