At the last sitting on October 13 where both parties adopted written addresses,  Justice Nasir Gunmi, who heads the three-man tribunal, promised to communicate the judgment date, which must be before October 28, to the parties through the tribunal secretary.

The petitioners who anchored their respective cases on compulsory use of card readers for accreditation, argued that they had been able to prove the cases of over voting and electoral irregularities during the election to justify nullifying the election  and ordering a re-run.
Counsel to Emerhor and the APC, Chief Thompson Okpoko (SAN) contended that Section 153 of the Electoral Act confers on INEC the power to make regulations for the conduct of elections based on which the INEC issued guidelines and press release informing Nigerians that card readers would be used.
Will the tribunal uphold Okowa’s election or nullify it and order a re-run as prayed for by Emerhor? The question. Stay tuned with EnlogHomes we are at home.  Property sale  comes up later in the day up
