Kwara Central PDP senatorial candidate petitions CJN

 The Kwara Central senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the March 28, 2015, National Assembly elections, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has petitioned the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Mahmud Mohammed and the National Judicial Council (NJC) on the “unjust” ruling of the election petitions tribunal.

In a 13-page petition, which he anchored on six grounds, Abdulrazaq noted that the tribunal overlooked “widespread non-compliance with various provisions of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended) and Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC’s) election regulations and procedures” in arriving at its decision.
