 The state governorship election tribunal has ordered substituted service of the petition by the social democratic party challenging the victory of the all-progressive Congress in the June 18, 2023 election. The SDP filed expert motion on the premise that Governor-elect Biudu Yibangi, his running mate Munisha Diafuye and former interim chairman of the APC, Governor Mai Malibuni of Yobi, were evading service of the petition. Chairman of the three-man tribunal, Justice Wilfred Pochi, granted the motion instructing that the petition be served on the national secretary of any or the senior officers of the APC. The SDP and UNI are challenging the results based on the nomination of the candidates and irregularities during the election. According to Council for the SDP and its candidate Shaguni Biudu Fashakin, the tribunal also granted approval for the petitioners to access materials used by the independent national electoral commission for the elections. There were two applications before the tribunal. The first one was for substituted service of the originating petition on some of the respondents that we have found difficult to serve ever since. And the second one is for inspection of some of the materials, you know, of INEC, you know, some of the materials, documents, devices that INEC used in that election of 18th of June, 2022. And like you said, the tribunal viciously granted the two applications. So from now the the coast is clear for us to maintain our petition. And we expect that the respondents would in earnest file their deface to the petition. And as it were, we could maintain our petition. That is, there are some other documents that the INEC is having custody of, which are without the new of the court will find it difficult to procure those documents for the purpose of maintaining our petition. Now we can approach INEC for satisfactory copies of the documents in view with a view to pursuing and prosecuting our petition on the merit.
