But in politics, especially in this clime, the battle is never over until it is taken to the tribunal. Dissatisfied with the declaration of incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello as the winner of the poll, the candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Musa Atayi Wada and his party headed for the state’s Governorship Election Tribunal. The tribunal delivered its judgment in Abuja on May 23, 2020, upholding the victory of Bello at the poll. While Bello, through his counsel, urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition for lacking in merit and substance, the APC prayed the tribunal to dismiss entire matter with substantial cost. In their final address before the tribunal, the petitioners raised an issue on the crux of their complaint for determination.
