The Chairman of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, has withdrawn from the tribunal.

You will recall that the Peoples Democratic Party had alleged that Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa will not be fair in sitting over the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal due to relationship of her family members with the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Although the five-man panel of the tribunal, in a unanimous ruling dismissed the application, Bulkachuwa said she was withdrawing for “personal reasons.”

The Federal Road Safety Corps in Lagos state will today begin a special patrol code-named “Operation Show Your Driver’s Licence”.

The exercise is simply a clampdown on drivers who failed to produce Driver’s License on demand.

State Sector Commander, Hyginus Omeje, says defaulting motorists run the risk of being fined N10,000.

He said that the two-week special patrol was aimed at reducing the high incidents of motorists driving without valid driver’s licence in the state, as most motorists who apply for licence never care to go back to the licensing offices to collect their permanent licence.
