The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has received the blessings of the Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Kebbi State to serve the All Progressives Congress (APC), its governor-elect, and deputy governor-elect processes its petition through substituted service.
This was sequel to the application filed by the PDP’s legal adviser, Barrister Nura Bello.
Ello said he was finding it difficult to serve the APC and its governor-elect processes of the petition in respect of the governorship election held in the state, hence the application.
The tribunal in an ex parte motion signed by its secretary, Zubairu Nuhu, directed that the petition processes be placed at the secretariat of the APC or by posting it on the notice board of the tribunal in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital, for the attention of the respondents.
The PDP had asked the tribunal in a petition number EPT/KB/GOV/1/2023 challenging the Kebbi State governorship election in which INEC declared APC’s candidate, Dr. Nasiru Idris, as a winner.
In the petition filed by PDP, his governorship candidate, Gen. Aminu Bande (rtd), INEC, APC, the governor-elect, and his deputy were listed as respondents.
