Breaking News: Tribunal upholds Saraki’s election

Senator Bukola Saraki

Just as Senate President Bukola Saraki was  busy on the floor of the Senate carrying out legislative activities, National Assembly Tribunal sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, has upheld his election as Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in the Senate.

The national assembly election petition tribunal sitting in Ilorin, Kwara state capital Tuesday affirmed the election of March 8 that produced the  All Progressives Congress (APC) Kwara central senatorial candidate in the election, Senator Bukola Saraki‎.

The three-man panel led by Justice, ‎ Josiah Majebi in his two hours ruling dismissed the petition filed by the Peoples Democractic Party(PDP) candidate in the election, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq for lack of merit, competence and substance.

‎The chairman said that, the petitioner failed to proof his case that the last March 8 election that produced the respondent, Senator Saraki was characterised by electoral malpractices that could warrant the dismissal of that election.
