Fear Grips Governors As Tribunals Sack Lawmakers

Published

on

Eko Hot Blog reports that there is palpable fear across the country, especially in political circles, as the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal gets set to deliver judgment on petition.

Several governors returned by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the March 18 poll are in court following petitions by their opponents who felt cheated.

The tribunals had adopted written submissions of both the respondents and petitioners and had told the counsel to the litigants that a date for the judgement will be communicated to both parties.

For instance, in Plateau State, where Nentawe Yilwatda of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is challenging declaration of Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), it was gathered that declaration of former governor, Simon Lalong, Minister of Labour and Employment, as winner of Plateau South Senatorial election has raised the level of anxiety.

This is because the grounds upon which Lalong was declared winner is the same averments of the APC and its governorship candidate.

Other states where there is apprehension include Kaduna, Nasarawa, Ogun, Katsina, Kano, delta, Lagos and Ebonyi states.

As the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunals have been affirming and sacking lawmakers. Nigerians wait with bated breath for the governorship elections tribunals to commence delivering judgements.
