APC Kicks As Tribunal Upholds Aduda, Jisalo’s Elections by DONSMITH123(m): 7:24am On Aug 06, 2015
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged bias in the judgment of the FCT elections petition tribunal, saying it is tired of “cooked judgment.”

An APC chieftain in the territory, Alhaji Musa Tanko Abari, said that the party would appeal the ruling in the upper court, adding: “The same tribunal chairman, who is from Ebonyi State, that dismissed my petition in 2011, when I contested under CPC for FCT senator, is still the same person that passed this judgment again, we are going to appeal the judgment.”
The FCT Elections Petition Tribunal headed by Justice Ngene Elvis, Tuesday, upheld the elections of both Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda and House of Representatives member representing AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency, Zaphaniyya Jisalo, who were elected on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the March 28 National Assembly elections.
The tribunal, in its ruling, dismissed the petition filed by APC’s senatorial candidate, Adamu Sidi Ali, and House of Representatives candidate for AMAC/Bwari constituency, Isah Dara Bwari, for lack of merit.
In the four-hour judgment, the tribunal dismissed the case for lacking in merit, saying Adamu Sidi Ali was unable to prove allegations of over-voting he claimed occurred in some polling units.
The tribunal also dismissed the petition filed by Isah Dara Bwari, APC, saying that the witnesses he presented were unable to give evidence of irregularities in election.
Counsel to the petitioner, Barrister Yakubu Haruna Gana, said he would consult with his client to know the next action to take.
Reacting, counsel to the PDP, Chief Karina Tunya (SAN), commended the tribunal for delivering sound and clear judgment, saying the judgment has proven that his clients won the senatorial and House of Representatives elections.
Sidi Ali and Isah Dara had taken Aduda and Zaphaniyya to the National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal in FCT, alleging irregularities in the conduct of the elections on March 28, 2015.

The APC leadership at the National level need to take a keen interest in the affairs of the party in the FCT with a view to assisting members for the upliftment of the party in the FCT, as at today APC in FCT is in opposition, there were clear cases of election rigging in the last NASS election, particularly intimidation and inducement of voters, this ruling will dampen the spirit of our members, hence the need for the party to ensure party members are supported, Local Government elections in FCT is around the corner, a lot need to be done to reposition the party for victory in FCT by all means, hence APC has only one elected council chairman out of six, nomination of credible and popular candidate is must for victory.

Two days ago two PDP lawmakers from delta constituencies had the legitimacy of their mandate revoked, the APC didn't kick against that and in fact affirmed the decision as proof of fairness by the judiciary. But now with the judgement going the other way, they have done a 360 and gone against the same judiciary they initially praised. The APC need to imbibe in their manifesto the spirit of sportsmanship and need to learn to accept defeat
