The Federal Capital Territory Area Council Election Appeal Tribunal has set aside the judgments of the Elections Petition Tribunal which sacked the Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Abdullahi Suleiman Sabo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Chairman of the Bwari Area Council John Gabaya also of the PDP from their positions.

In a unanimous judgment read by the chairman of the three-man panel, Justice Suleiman Belgore, the tribunal allowed the appeals on their merit and held that the Trial Tribunal erred in its judgment when it failed to take into consideration, the totality of all evidence before it.

The tribunal said the major grounds of appeal on the use of Bimodal Voter Registration System (BVAS), were immaterial to the election, as same is not contained in the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010.

Justice Belgore held that the non-use of BVAS was not an integral process under the previous Electoral Act 2010, nothing that although the 2022 Electoral Act now provides for its use, it was not fatal to the conduct of the Area Council elections and therefore, a mere irregularity of non-compliance with INEC’s Election Manual.

In a similar development, Justice Yusuf Halilu who read the unanimous judgment of the Appeal Tribunal for Bwari Area Council allowed the appeal of the Chairman of the Council, John Gabaya and set aside the earlier judgment of the Trial Tribunal which declared the All Progressives Party candidate, Haruna Shekwolo winner of the election.
