The Plateau State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda on Monday morning, got the tribunal’s nod to inspect materials used for the governorship election.
The governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Jos, gave the ruling after hearing the two applications moved by Nentawe’s counsel, Jim Gotom.
In a motion exparte and motion on notice, Gotom hinted the tribunal that his motion is supported by a six paragraph affidavit and that he was placing reliance on all of them.
He further hinted that a written address was attached to the affidavit with legal arguments and decided cases to back his application.
The applicant’s lawyer applied for leave and order of the tribunal to permit Nentawe, his counsel and agents to inspect the election materials, such as tendered vote list, electoral material receipt, ballot paper account and verification statement.
