In May, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal commenced its sitting with various justices presiding over the various petitions concerning the 2023 presidential election.
Five political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), Labour Party (LP), Action Peoples Party (APP), Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and the Action Alliance (AA) had lodged separate petitions before the tribunal seeking to annul Tinubu’s victory.
The sitting of the five-man Panel of Justices is headed by the presiding justice, Justice Haruna Tsammani.
The judges presiding over the tribunal are:
- Justice Haruna Tsammani – Chief Registrar of the Court of Appeal – Chairman.
- Justice Stephen Adah – Court of Appeal (Asaba division)
- Justice Monsurat Bolaji-Yusuf – Court of Appeal (Asaba Division)
- Justice Moses Ugo – Kano division.
- Justice Abba Mohammed – Ibadan Court of Appeal.
On the day of the final judgement, the five jurists will deliberate and possibly vote to take a final decision, in case there are disagreements on issues thrown up at trial.
The decision is, however, not final, as a displeased party can still appeal to the Supreme Court.(agency)/SHARE THIS
