The Cross River State Governorship Election Tribunal has fixed Tuesday to deliver judgment on the petition filed by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Sen. Sandy Ojsng Onor against the election of Governor Bassey Otu and his deputy, Hon. Peter Odey
The tribunal on Saturday informed parties in the suit that judgement would be delivered on Tuesday 26th Sept, 2023.
Sandy Onor, in his petition had urged the tribunal to nullify Bassey Otu’s victory on the alleged grounds that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress was not qualified to run in the election.
The PDP candidate, in his petition, contended that Bassey Otu’s emergence as winner “was invalid by reason of corrupt practices or non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999. The second respondent was not duly elected by the majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.”
Onor is urging the tribunal to declare all the votes cast for the APC as wasted votes and declare him Winner.
