The
Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday reserved judgment in an appeal filed
by Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba against the nullification of his
electoral victory by a tribunal. Justice Abdul Northerner said the court
would later announce the date for the judgment in the appeal. The
appeal by Ishaku followed the judgment of the Taraba Governorship
Election Petition Tribunal on Nov. 7 and awarded victory to Mrs Aisha
Alhassan of APC. Mr Kanu Agabi (SAN), Counsel to Ishaku, raised four
issues in the appeal. He said the petition was not accompanied by valid
statements as the respondents claimed that it was the fault of the
registry. Agabi said the respondents claimed that the election was
marred with corruption yet claimed victory in the election. He said the
respondents also pleaded that Ishaku was not sponsored by the party but
later agreed that his sponsorship was not supported by any fact. He
complained that 51 witnesses of the appellant were not reviewed by the
tribunal and urged their lordships to allow the appeal. Mr Solo Akuma
(SAN), Counsel to Peoples’ Democratic Party PDP and Mr Joseph Daudu
(SAN), Counsel to INEC urged the court to allow Ishaku’s appeal.
However, Mr Abiodun Owonikoko (SAN), Counsel to Alhassan, filed a cross
appeal, saying INEC had no right to clear a candidate for election. He
urged the court to dismiss Ishaku’s appeal and uphold the tribunal’s
judgment.
