Reprieve came the way of the
Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, on
Thursday as the Tribunal Chairman, Justice A. H Suleiman granted his request to
inspect the INEC collation result sheets for Kaduna Central Senatorial district
which Uba Sani of the All Progressives Congress, APC, won.
Justice A. H. Suleiman is the
Chairman of Kaduna State’s National and State Houses of Assembly Election
Petition Tribunal sitting in Kaduna.
The relief followed an ex parte
motion filed by the applicants: Shehu Sani and the Peoples Redemption Party,
PRP, in petition No. EPT/KD/SN/M/02/19, asking the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, to make results sheets and incident forms available
for inspection.
In the ruling of an ex-parte
motion filed by J.S Kure, Counsel to Senator Shehu Sani, the Tribunal Chairman,
Justice A. H. Suleiman said: “An order is hereby made compelling the 3rd
Respondent (INEC) to allow the petitioners/applicants or their agents or
assigns access to inspect documents (Form EC8A, Eze INEC incident forms) and
result sheets of all polling units in the seven Local government Areas that
make up Kaduna Central Senatorial district.”
“An order is hereby also made on
the 3rd Respondent to make available to the petitioners/Applicants certified
True Copy of all the documents.”
Senator Shehu Sani is challenging
the victory of Uba Sani, who won Kaduna Central Senatorial district on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress, at the Tribunal.
Recall that Shehu
Sani, a first timer to the Senate, contested on the platform of Peoples
Redemption Party (PRP) when he could not secure APC return ticket for the
now-concluded election.
