Bako, Chairman of the three-member Tribunal, said<br \/>\nthat a date would be reserved for judgement and all parties will be<br \/>\nnotified through their counsel.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party and its Governorship candidate,<br \/>\nIsah Ashiru, had petitioned the March 9 poll in which Governor Nasiru<br \/>\nEl-Rufai was returned as duly elected by the Independent National<br \/>\nElectoral Commission.<\/p>\n<p>The Petitioners in their final written address on Monday, asked the<br \/>\nTribunal to cancel a total 515, 951 votes which it contended were<br \/>\nunlawfully added to the total votes cast during the March 9 poll.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners had called 135 witnesses out of the 685 they assembled<br \/>\nto prove massive rigging, ballot stuffing and other irregularities<br \/>\nduring the poll as contained in their petition.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners alleged that INEC had added 391,741 votes to Nasiru<br \/>\nEl-Rufai of APC and a total of 124, 210 unlawful votes to the PDP<br \/>\nthrough wrong or double entry on the result sheets.<\/p>\n<p>The PDP and its candidate also contended that declaring El-Rufai winner<br \/>\nby INEC was illegal as he did not score majority of lawful votes.<\/p>\n<p>The PDP through its legal team led Emmanuel C. Ukala (SAN), said<br \/>\ndeducting 391,741 votes from 1,045,427 scored by El-Rufai and 124,210<br \/>\nfrom Ashiru\u2019s 814, 168 votes will give victory to PDP and Ashiru, its<br \/>\ncandidate in the poll.<\/p>\n<p>The counsel further argued that after the deduction of the alleged<br \/>\nunlawful votes, Ashiru will be left with 689,958 lawful votes, while<br \/>\nEl-Rufai will have 653,686 votes.<\/p>\n<p>In his submission, Ukala argued that all parties to the petition are<br \/>\nbound to argue their cases on the basis of whether or not the<br \/>\npetitioners had assembled credible evidence to sustain their petition,<br \/>\nas formulated by the tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201conly the 2nd respondent premised his argument on the<br \/>\nissues formulated by this honorable tribunal. The 1st and 3rd<br \/>\nrespondents went on their own forays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is therefore our submission that the argument of the 1st and 3rd<br \/>\nrespondents should go to \u2018no issue\u2019, having not addressed the issue<br \/>\nwhich was binding to all parties, \u201c Ukala argued.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners counsel further said that based on the issues formulated<br \/>\nby the tribunal, the issue has been narrowed down to the credibility of<br \/>\nevidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on this simplification of the issue, it is our humble submission<br \/>\nthat when the evidence led by both sides are placed on the imaginary<br \/>\nscales of justice, what is obvious is that the weight of evidence of the<br \/>\npetitioners will overwhelmingly weigh in favor of the petitioners as<br \/>\nagainst the respondents, \u201c he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, the petitioners called 135 witnesses. All respondents put<br \/>\ntogether, 1st, 2nd and 3rd respondents, called a total of five<br \/>\nwitnesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is obvious is that there were so many areas covered by the<br \/>\npetitioners that were not addressed by the respondents.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Ukala further pointed out that the quality of the petitioners\u2019 evidence<br \/>\nwas more qualitative than that of the respondents with polling unit<br \/>\nagents who actually saw what happened on the election day and testified.<\/p>\n<p>However, in its final written address and reply to points raised by the<br \/>\npetitioners, Counsel to APC, Ibrahim Bawa (SAN) said: \u201cour final written<br \/>\naddress before the tribunal is that the petitioners have not been able<br \/>\nto establish their claim before the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are certain allegations that were made which were criminal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe petitioners also complain that certain votes were illegally<br \/>\nrecorded for the 2nd and 3rd respondents, but unfortunately no evidence<br \/>\nwere made to prove those points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we urge the Tribunal to dismiss the petition as the petitioners<br \/>\nhave failed to live up to the standard expected of them in proving their<br \/>\npetition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Abdulhakeem Mustapha, counsel to El-Rufai, the 2nd respondent<br \/>\nin the petition, asked the tribunal \u201cto invoke its majestic powers to<br \/>\ndismiss the petition as lacking in merit and to confirm that the 2nd<br \/>\nrespondent, Malam Nasiru El Rufai as duly elected as governor of Kaduna<br \/>\nState on the March 9 election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mustapha in an interview with newsmen also said: \u201cwe have been able to<br \/>\ntell the court that all the witnesses called by the petitioners failed<br \/>\nwoefully to prove the ingredient of the fact relied upon in their<br \/>\npetition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe onus is on the petitioners to come with credible evidence and all<br \/>\nthe testimonies of the witnesses produced by the petitioners were<br \/>\ndemolished under cross examination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing that the court will see to be persuaded to give<br \/>\njudgment in their favor, we have been able to show with the witnesses we<br \/>\ncalled that the election was conducted in conformity with the provision<br \/>\nof the electoral Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very satisfied with the proceedings and we are very sure that<br \/>\njustice will be done and sure that Malam Nasiru El-Rufai was duly<br \/>\nelected by the people of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the 2nd respondent, the final written address which was<br \/>\ndated 2nd August, was filed on 3rd August, 2019, while the 2nd<br \/>\nrespondent filed a reply on fact of law on August 16,\u201d Mustapha said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Counsel to the 1st respondent, INEC, Aliyu Umar (SAN) urged<br \/>\nthe tribunal to \u201cdismiss the petition and confirm El Rufai as duly<br \/>\nelected Governor of Kaduna State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Umar drew the attention of the tribunal to the fact that the petitioners<br \/>\nhad just served him with a list of additional authorities on the day of<br \/>\nsitting.<\/p>\n<p>He also told newsmen shortly after the sitting that: \u201cWe told the<br \/>\ntribunal to take witnesses of the petitioners one by one and urged the<br \/>\ntribunal to hold that their evidence was different from what they<br \/>\nalleged in their petition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd their witnesses have all confirmed during cross examination that no<br \/>\nINEC officials connived with any other person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe petitioners only called 135 of the 685 witnesses the petitioners<br \/>\nsaid they would call, that is short of the number they were supposed to<br \/>\ncall to prove their case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are to win their case by the evidence presented not by our<br \/>\nwitnesses,\u201cUmar said.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the sitting, Justice Bako, thanked counsel to all the<br \/>\nparties, party members and representatives of the media for their<br \/>\ncooperation and publicity through out the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Khadi Adamu Usman and Justice<br \/>\nJude Obiora served as members of the Kaduna State Governorship Election<br \/>\nPetition Tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>(NAN)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kaduna State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has adjourned sitting on Monday after counsel adopted their final written addresses and replies to points of law.
