In a petition before the tribunal, Mr Ukubile Ochijenu-Acharu of the PDP is also calling on the tribunal to nullify the election of Mr Haruna-Idoko Musa who won through supplementary election into  Idah state constituency on the platform of APC on July 23.

According to Ochijenu-Acharu, Musa election into the house was determined by Ogegele ward polling unit 003 of Idah state constituency only.

Ochijenu-Acharu added that the election of that same unit was characterized by all forms of violence and malpractices.

“I am challenging this election because it was not done in proper way; the election of Feb. 20 was also characterized with violence.

“I did not file any petition on February 20 election, I did that because INEC refused to declare the winner but am sure victory was mine in that election.

“The number of accredited voter’s in that February 20 election is 82, I know I was already leading with six votes base on the calculations we did that time,’’ Ochijenu-Acharu said.

He called on the tribunal to look into the issues for determinations he filed before it.

The tribunal Chairman also adjourned this petition until Nov. 15 for continuation of defense.
