Tribunal Sacks Kogi East Senator, Echocho, Orders Re-Run In 94 Polling Units by Nemere2020(op): 6:07pm On Sep 05, 2023

The Kogi East Senatorial Election Tribunal on Tuesday sacked the senator representing the district, Jibrin Isah, on the ground that elections were cancelled in 94 polling units.

The tribunal also ordered Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a supplementary election in the affected 94 polling units.

The Tribunal Chairman, K.A. Orjiako, who delivered the judgment on the petition brought before it by Victor Adoji, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 25 February election, agreed with the prayers of Mr Adoji.

Mr Adoji, had through his Counsel, Johnson Usman (SAN), challenged the return of Mr Isah of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the ground that elections were cancelled in some polling units where the PVCs collected were more than the margin of his win.

The petitioner had pleaded with the tribunal to annul the election of Mr Isah, who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Customs Excise and Tarriffs, on the ground that elections were cancelled in 94 polling units and ordered for a supplementary election in the affected 94 polling units in the senatorial district.

They must find a way to sneak in Obi into any issue of disrepute.
Meanwhile, the person they support is laden with controversies, they won't talk about that

Tinubu's Image have already been slandered internationally in far away Chicago, where he became a notorious narcotics drug trafficker the city of Chicago has ever known.

Someone is about to be sacked tommorow

It's either your faith is like the biblical mustard seed that can move mountains or you are not a Nigerian.

My advice to you is to pray that Atiku and Kwankwaso support Peter Obi's candidacy in 2027.

As for this 2023 election, dem just dey do giveaways for lawyers

Tinubu just wanted the name... President to be added to his fleece of names. A man with no known identity outside his ability to speak Yoruba. Even Yoruba are still studying his descendants.
Is this man from Nigeria or Guinea or United States?

Will money make a known druglord a president of my country?

Hmmm 🤔

If tribunal eventually sack that illegitimate president, Nigeria will be the best orderly country in Africa. There will never be any stupid bragging from politicians in the country.
Rascality in election will have been minimize. It will have been the beginning of the great Nigeria where everyone will be law abiding.

All eyes on the judiciary!
