The Kaduna State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal was on Thursday told that the Independent National Electoral Commission had yet to produce the certified copies of the March 18th governorship result sheets in which Uba Sani was declared the winner.
A senior Advocate of Nigeria, Oluwale Iyamu, one of the lead counsels to the Peoples Democratic Party’s Governorship candidate, Mohammed Ashiru, stated at the Tribunal sitting in Kaduna.
Meanwhile, the three-member tribunal headed by Justice Victor Oviawe adjourned the case to July 4th, 2023 in the case between Hon. Isa Ashiru of the PDP, Governor of Kaduna state, Uba Sani, All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Iyamu argued that it would be untidy and improper to tender them (result sheets evidence) in a piecemeal format, noting that it was better to go back and extract those forms from the INEC.
He said, “As you are aware the documents required for the pursuit of the petition largely are result sheets and other processes available only in the official custody of INEC, which is also a party to this suit.
“We have applied for certified copies of all the forms, particularly the result sheets of all the polling units from the beginning to the end so that we can take our case in a manner which is proper.
