The Enugu State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal has dismissed the petition of Chris Agu of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) against Peter Mbah for alleged forged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate, non-qualification, and corruption.
The Tribunal chaired by Justice Kudirat Murayo Akano today held that the petitioner failed to prove that the respondent did not possess the minimum requirement to stand for election which is a school certificate or its equivalent.
According to him, there’s no evidence to support the claim that Mbah is not qualified to stand for the election.
The tribunal also held that to prove the issue of forgery, the petitioner must provide the original certificate and the forged one, resolving that Mbah was not elected by the majority of votes cast against the petitioner.
The panel stated that witnesses called by the petitioners could not specify the polling units where the elections were not held nor the results of the same.
