Kwara State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has slated September 20, 2019, to give judgment in the petition filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Rasak Atunwa, challenging the election of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
Atunwa is challenging AbdulRazaq’s election on the ground that the governor allegedly presented a forged secondary school certificate and was therefore not qualified to run.
Other respondents in the case are the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), AbdulRazaq and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
At the resumption of the hearing yesterday, counsel to Atunwa and the other respondents adopted their final written addresses before the three-person tribunal chaired by Justice Bassey Efiong. They urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition.
