Iragunima, explained that the petitions were wrongly filed. She said that instead of filling exparte motion to the tribunal for pre-hearing, the petitioners addressed a letter to the Secretary of the tribunal, an administrative officer.\u00a0 The lead counsel to ACN, Festus Idepefo, said he would consult with the party to know the next line of action.<\/p>\n<p>NAN reports that with this decision, the tribunal is left with six cases, two for governorship and four for House of Assembly.
