The transfer of the elections petition tribunal to Abuja, according to the former legislator and social critic Senator Shehu Sani, “doesn’t tell good about the mindset of the political leaders.”
After transferring the Rivers and Ebonyi States’ election petition tribunals to Abuja, Sani commented.
Remember that Monica Mensem, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeal, ordered the urgent transfer of the Ebonyi and Rivers Election Petition Tribunals to the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja last month.
Sani said in a tweet sent out on Sunday that the move was evidence of the political authorities in the two States’ terrible attitudes.
He claimed that the move of the elections petition tribunal from Rivers and Ebonyi to Abuja “does not tell well about the attitude of the political leaders in those states.”
