Justice Muktar Hussein of the Court of Appeal Kaduna State, on Thursday, adjourned hearing in the appeal of the Peoples Democratic Party seeking for the recount of votes cast in the March 9 Governorship election in Kaduna State.
Ibrahim Bawa who represented the 1st respondent, the All Progressives Congress, told newsmen shortly after the adjournment that El-Rufai sought for the adjournment to allow him to file his response. “To give him benefit of the doubt and to ensure that all processes are in, the court allowed them to file their reply to the Appeals. The matter was adjourned to July 3rd,” Bawa said.
Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice Ibrahim Bako, who ruled on the motion, said the tribunal had a timeline of only 180 days within which to complete its assignment.He had also refused the application for amendment of the motion seeking to narrow the votes recount exercise to only 12 local government areas.
