INEC materials<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Kogi governorship election petition tribunal, on Saturday, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide certified copies of materials used during the State\u2019s November 11 poll.<\/p>\n

The tribunal asked the electoral body to provide the materials to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

The materials include Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and result sheets for Adavi, Okene, Okehi, Ogori-Magongo, Ajaokuta, Lokoja, Kogi and Bassa Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the tribunal, Ado Birnin-Kudu, gave the order following two ex-parte motions filed on November 19 by the SDP and Murtala Yakubu-Ajaka, its governorship candidate.<\/p>\n

Lead counsel to SDP and Ajaka, John Adele, told the court that efforts to obtain certified copies of materials used in six LGAs of the State from INEC yielded no result.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime is of essence in this matter, and that was why we filed the motions to your lordship to help to salvage the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach time we approached INEC since November 13, its officials failed to avail us with even one of the electoral materials for which we requested.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that if your lordship grants our application, INEC will do the needful to enable us to prosecute this case within the time limit,\u201d Adele said.<\/p>\n

The petition tribunal also ordered INEC to allow SDP\u2019s forensic experts to examine some of the electoral materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe order is in compliance with Nigeria\u2019s 1999 Constitution (as amended) and with the Electoral Act (2022).<\/p>\n

\u201cINEC is hereby ordered to produce all the documents being sought by the plaintiffs within 48 hours to enable proceedings to go smoothly and without hitches,\u201d Birnin-Kudu said<\/p>\n

The tribunal adjourned the case to November 29 for submission of report of compliance by INEC and continuation of the hearing.<\/p>\n

The SDP and Ajaka are challenging the victory of All Progressives Congress\u2019 candidate, Usman Ododo.<\/p>\n

INEC declared Ododo as winner of the November 11 election with 446,237 votes, while Yakubu-Ajaka came second with 259,052 votes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
