Provision has been made for transmission of the judgement proceeding via zoom
In a key ruling, the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Kaduna has rejected Uba Sani’s motion to dismiss the petition brought forth by the PDP and its Candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru.
Sani’s objection centered on the timeliness of the petition, arguing it exceeded the legal 21-day window.
However, the court affirmed the petition’s filing date as April 10, 2023.
Consequently, Governor Uba Sani’s petition as the second respondent has been dismissed.
