In today’s session at the Election Tribunal, significant rulings were handed down regarding the ongoing proceedings involving the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Firstly, the tribunal dismissed a motion filed by the APC and Ahmed Usman Ododo, seeking to block the use of an inspection report as evidence. Subsequently, a request for an extension of pre-hearing time, presented by Akubo SAN, was approved by the tribunal.
Furthermore, attention was drawn to a motion regarding the summoning of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a witness for the inspection report, which has been postponed to a later date for a comprehensive hearing.
As a result of these developments, the pre-hearing proceedings have been adjourned, with the next session slated for February 14, 2024.
