The CJ added that two tribunals were created for each of the three senatorial districts in the state that would have the original decision to hear and determine election petitions.

He stated further that the other tribunal is the appeal tribunal which was created, one for each of the three senatorial zones of the state. 'Now, a lower tribunal and the appeal tribunal are composed of three members, the chairman and other members. 'Their main objective is to hear and determine election petitions arising from the local government election. This is their primary duty', the Yobe Chief Judge said.
