The re-run Election Petition Tribunal struck down the
petition filed by All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Daniel Onjeh
against Senator David Mark (PDP – Benue State) on Thursday in Makurdi.
The petition had been filed after the 21 days stipulated in the
constitution, making the petition invalid, according to the tribunal.Justice Chinyere Gloria Anulube argued that the tribunal did not have the jurisdiction to preside over the suit, adding that the petition was “defective and incurably bad.”
