The sordid judgments of most governorship election
petitions against the pdp is akin to judiciary
terrorism.A jihad cannot be discounted from this
sordid judgements of the election petitions in Taraba
and Benue state.The Karatu judgement in Benue
against Tarzor on same grounds with the celebrated
Taraba APC backed tribunal lacks credibility by all
electoral indices.
There is an incredible nexus between both petitions
and prayers of the petitioners; non conducts of party
primaries ,non qualifications of candidates and
voiding of the elections.But Justice Karatu gave a
lawn tennis court judgement against Tarzar in Benue
while the Taraba panel gave a jihadist judgement.
There is no dispute that APC never conducted party
primaries in Benue as there were admissible
empirical evidences but rather Karatu became
emotive in her judgment because of alleged
extraneous influences.Evidences tendered by Tarzor
suggests his opponents has no business in
participating in the election in the first place .
Another curious twist in the Benue case is the cross
appeal by the respondents because the weight of
evidence prevented Karatu from giving a wholesale
judgement in favour of ApC. We hope the appellate
court will be responsive and redeem the credibility of
the judiciary.
The Benue judgement cut no ice in informed
judiciary circles.It was a tactical judgement......
