The Kaduna State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has discarded the preliminary objection filed by Governor Uba Sani against the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its Candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru.

According to The Nation, Gov Sani had filed the motion on the timeliness of the petition, arguing that the petitioners were filed outside the 21 days allowed by the law.

The three-man panel led by Justice Victor Oviawe, however, affirmed that the petition was filed on 10th April 2023.

The tribunal, therefore, dismissed Governor Sani’s petition.
