Enugu LGAs: Tribunal Adjourns Judgement on APC Case Against PDP(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Local Government Elections Petitions Tribunal sitting in Enugu has adjourned to September 14th, 2020 for ruling on a petition brought before it by the councillorship candidate of the All Progressive Party in the last council polls held in the state, just as the opposition party expressed hope for victory.
The APC candidate, through his lawyer, Barrister Godwin Onwusi is alleging that ballot papers were more than the officially issued ones during counting in one of the pulling units in the ward.
However, Defence Counsel, Barrister PM Onyia kicked against the petition urging the tribunal to disregard the petition and quashed it.
He said: “Our mission is to recover the local council from governors, governors across the board.
Can there be democracy if there is no democracy at the grassroot level.
