The tribunal had on Wednesday subpoenaed the INEC boss, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Zamfara State to appear with the documents relating to the February 23, 2019 poll. Uche specifically told the tribunal that the petitioners had written to both the INEC boss and the Zamfara REC to appear with the required documents but to no avail. In its ruling, the tribunal ordered Yakubu and Zamfara REC to appear before it unfailingly on Thursday, July 18 (yesterday). At the resumed hearing yesterday, expectations were high as many people waited to hear the INEC boss give testimony in court. After the ruling, Uche again reminded the tribunal that the INEC boss was yet to appear in court.
