@channel801, you have a knack for setting the pulse racing


The Anambra State Election tribunal sitting in Awka has fixed December 6 as the commencement date for the trial of the petition filed by Prof. Dora Akunyili and her party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance against the election of Dr. Chris Ngige as the senator representing Anambra Central in the April general elections.

The tribunal headed by Hon. Justice Pat Onajite-Kuejubola, gave the date of the commencement of the trial of the petition after it dismissed an application by Ngige praying the tribunal to dismiss the petition of Akunyili on the grounds that the statutory 180 days given for the trial of the petition has elapsed.

It will be recalled that the Court of Appeal in Enugu had ordered the tribunal to try the petition on merit.

The tribunal had earlier thrown out the petition of Akunyili because she failed to file Form TF008 that was needed for the commencement of the pre-trial of the petition.

Akunyili commended the tribunal for the ruling. She said that the decision of the tribunal will enable her present her case.

Ngige said he was prepared for the trial of petition as he said that he had a good case

This is different from the subject of the thread; @poster if this is exactly what happened, then you have not captured the subject of the thread correctly.
