Tectono Business Review gathered
that in a cross appeal brought before the 3-man Justices of Appeal Court led by
Justice A.D Yahaya, Counsel to
Nnamani, Ricky Tarfa (SAN), prayed
the appellate court to outrightly declare Nnamani winner since the evidence of
PW5 (Forensic Data Analyst) was relied upon by the lower court to establish wide
spread irregularities that substantially marred the election.
Tarfa said: “Since the evidence of PW5 was relied upon to order fresh
election by the lower court, we urge your lordships to declare Nnamani winner,
having established irregularities of over voting, mutilation of results to the
detriment of his (Nnamani) result.”
On the contrary, Patrick Ikwueto, who is the Counsel to
the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Senator Gil Nnaji, who appealed the judgment of the Tribunal, urged
the appellate court to dismiss the evidence of the PW5 and set aside the
tribunal judgment since the irregularities were not substantial enough to void
the outcome of the polls.
