BREAKING: Again, President Buhari Meets Goodluck Jonathan In Aso Rock …Just as Bayelsa Guber election petitions tribunal reserves five cases for Judgement

For the second time in 2020, ex-Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday visited the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he met with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Jonathan had on January 30, 2020 met with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, the first in the year.

MEANWHILE, the Bayelsa state governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja has reserved judgement in all the five election petitions filled before it in respect of the November 16, 2019 election in the state.

The chairman of the tribunal, Justice Muhammed Sirajo had earlier dismissed five other petitions in respect of the election for lacking in merit.

The remaining petitioners are Ebiziomo Diriyai, Vijah Opuama, the Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party ANDP, Ibieme Stephen and Owei Woniwei.

Some of the petitioners are challenging the election on the grounds that Governor Douye Diri and his deputy, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo were not qualified to contest the election, having submitted forged certificates and false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Justice Sirajo announced at the end of proceedings on Monday that the day for the judgment will be communicated to the parties.
