BREAKING: Gov Uba Sani, PDP Governorship Candidate Isa Ashiru React To Kaduna Tribunal Ruling

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Isa Ashiru, have issued statements in response to the judgment of the Kaduna Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

The tribunal, led by Justice Victor Oviawie, dismissed the petition filed by the PDP candidate, citing that the pre-hearing notice was submitted after the stipulated time and therefore considered abandoned.

Both candidates have asserted their claims to victory following the tribunal’s decision.

Governor Sani, who was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), praised the court for upholding the dismissal of the PDP’s petition.

“I was happy after the NEC meeting when I heard the news that the tribunal dismissed the PDP’s application against the election. Of course, I was not surprised because, throughout the tribunal sitting our lawyers were briefing me about what was happening,” he said on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He urged “Mr. Ashiru and the PDP members in Kaduna State to come together and collaborate with me. The paramount goal is advancing our state. As I stated on May 29th when I took office, politics is about governance, and we have made every effort to involve everyone.”

However, in a statement on his verified Facebook account, Ashiru asserted his victory in the tribunal.

“First, I give glory to God Almighty for the progress made so far in our effort to reclaim the mandate given to us by the good people of Kaduna State. I also thank the people of the state for widely believing in me and the PDP,” the PDP candidate wrote.

“Also, given the ruling of the Kaduna state election tribunal, it has become necessary to share with our teaming supporters, the true position of the ruling.”

“The tribunal by a split decision of 2:1 accordingly, nullified the election of the governor of Kaduna state, ordered that the Certificate of Return be retrieved and fresh elections be conducted in some polling units in 4 LGAs and the outcome thereof be reckoned with before the declaration of the winner of the governorship election in Kaduna state,” Ashiru said.
