A'court president directs transfer of all election appeals to Abuja, Lagos

Monica Dongban-Mensem, president of the court of appeal, has directed that all appeals arising from election petition cases across the country be transferred to the Abuja and Lagos divisions.

Although the appeals from the various state tribunals are supposed to be heard across the 20 appellate courts in the country, only two divisions of the court would preside over the election appeals. Some political parties and their candidates had alleged that the judges at the state tribunals had been compromised by governors.
