The Nasarawa West Senatorial candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the Feb. 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections, Wakili Kabiru-Muhammad, has dragged INEC to the election tribunal over the omission of the party’s logo.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after filing his petition on Saturday in Lafia, Kabiru-Muhammad said the logo of his party was not captured on the ballot papers by INEC.
In the suit, the INEC and Ahmed Aliyu-Wadada of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the winner of the election were included as the first and second defendants in the case respectively.
He alleged that the act of omission by INEC did not comply with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022, and the 1999 Constitution.
He, therefore, called on the tribunal to nullify the election.
The petitioner said he approached the tribunal to seek redress because there were a lot of abnormalities during the election.
He advised his supporters to remain calm and law-abiding and await the outcome of the judgment of the tribunal.
