He said Uba Sani is only holding the certificate in trust for the PDP, adding that “by the time we are done with our case in the tribunal, he will hand over the certificate.”

“We challenge the INEC to leave above board and avoid partisanship as a supposedly independent body and do her work according to its constitutional mandate, as an umpire in election matters of our dear country,” he said.
