Borno Central: Court affirms APC’s Kaka Shehu’s victory

The Election Petition Court sitting in Maiduguri has affirmed the victory of Senator Kaka Shehu Lawan of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as the winner of the 2023 Borno Central Senatorial Election.

The PDP candidate, Barrister Kumalia, had earlier dragged the APC and its candidate for Borno Central Senator, Lawan, seeking nullification of the election, alleging that the result declared by the INEC in favour of the Senator was marred with irregularities.

In its judgement, the three-man panel, led by Justice M.E. Anenih, Justice A.I. Ityonyman, and Justice A.O. Adeniji, held that the petition brought before the tribunal lacked merit.

Dismissing the petition, the tribunal said “The petitioner failed to present cogent, reliable, and compelling evidence that could be sufficient to affect the poll’s result as declared by INEC”.

“Reacting to his victory at the tribunal, Senator Kakashehu Lawan said, “I want to use this opportunity to commend the Justices of the Tribunal for a job well done.

Their scholarly opinion has further reaffirmed the mandate of the people. While I appreciate their thorough job, the outcome further demonstrated the independence and impartiality of the judicial system.”

“I want to also reassure the people of Borno Central senatorial district of my total commitment towards quality representation with a view to bringing dividends of democracy to the people irrespective of political consideration,” Lawan added.

After the judgement, there was jubilation in the Maiduguri metropolis and its environs by APC supporters following the outright dismissal of a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP senatorial candidate, Barrister Mohammed Kumalia, challenging the victory of Borno Central Senator, Barrister Kaka Shehu Lawan.
