Tribunal Declares Kaduna Guber Polls Inconclusive, Orders Re-Run

The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Kaduna has ruled the 2023 governorship election in Kaduna state inconclusive. In a split decision of 2:1, the tribunal directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a supplementary election within 90 days.

Justice Victor Oviawe, leading the 3-member panel, ordered a rerun in 24 polling units across seven wards in four local governments, involving 16,300 registered voters.

The verdict was delivered via Zoom, with the judges opting for virtual proceedings.

The petition was brought forth by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Isah Mohammed Ashiru, contesting the election of Uba Sani as Governor of Kaduna State.

They alleged irregularities and electoral fraud, maintaining that their candidate should have won.

Dino Melaye Discloses Unique Source Of Political Funding

During an appearance on Channels TV on Wednesday, April 18, 2023, Dino Melaye, a former Nigerian senator and political heavyweight, addressed the allegations of heavy financing in his primary elections.

Responding to the accusations, Melaye claimed that he was not privy to any such financial dealings, stating: "I'm not a staff of the EFCC or SABC. I wouldn't know if there was money, but the issue if at my level I cannot finance a primary then there's a problem somewhere. But definitely God bankrolled me - I bank with almighty God."

When pressed on how much he gave his delegates, Melaye made a surprising revelation: "I give them an anointing oil for mobilisation. I give them anointing oil and it did the magic. I just told you that my belief in Philippians chapter 4 verse 19, that God shall supply all my needs according to the riches and glory in Christ Jesus, and I'm telling you that."

Dino Melaye won the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship primaries in Kogi State.

Dino was declared winner by the returning officer on Sunday, April 16, 2023.

He scored 313 votes to defeat Idoko Ilonah who had 124 votes.

While some may be skeptical of Melaye's reliance on spiritual aid in his political campaigns, it cannot be denied that the controversial figure has maintained a significant presence in Nigerian politics despite numerous legal battles and scandals.

His unorthodox methods may raise eyebrows, but for now, it seems that Melaye's faith in the divine has served him well.
