hat INEC had withdrawn its initial letter signifying its withdrawal from the appeal against the judgement of the Tribunal. In a letter signed by the head of the commission’s legal department in Kano, Suleiman Alkali, on Friday, it said it withdrew its appeal as it had no reason to do so.

A government official told newsmen that when Alkali was confronted by some of the counsel representing INEC in the matter, he claimed to have been misled into writing the letter.

He said he withdrew the letter within 40 minutes of submitting it to the Tribunal but was surprised that it found its way into the media.
