…The Counsel to Fintiri has yesterday requested for copies of documents as exhibits tendered by the Counsel to Binani. Everything has been provided to them. Now is the session for witnesses to give evidences. Binani supporters should remain hopefully calm – Hon Julius Kadala
…This is not about victory for Binani or the APC, it is about defence of democracy and the rule of law. It’s about straightening and strengthening of electoral process, fine tuning it before the law, so that no candidate can anylonger manipulate results and think that he will eat his cake and have – Hon Salihu Baba Ahmed
At the Day 3, a continuation of hearing, Distinguished Senator Ahmed Hassan Barata, the DG campaign to Distinguished Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, a.k.a Binani has on Saturday testified before the election petition tribunal, sitting in Yola.
Barata, through whom series of documents were tendered as already marked and adopted exhibits has given excellent testimony and has answered questions accordingly after which the proceeding was adjourned to 12pm on Sunday, 23rd July, 2023.
Things have now taken shape for daily proceedings, the argument that Binani’s petition “is dead on arrival,” and the prayer that it should be dismissed have been laid to permanent rest.
