Benue State Tribunal Gets New Chairman.

The Benue State Governorship Election Tribunal has a new chairman, Justice Mummir Ladan.

 

He  presided over the pre-hearing notice of the petition filed by  the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) governorship candidate, Prof. Daniel Saror, against the election of Governor Gabriel Suswam, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The first tribunal Chairman, Justice Daisy Okocha, resigned before the beginning of the hearing of the two petitions against the election of Suswam.

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) candidate, Prof Torkuma Ugba, also filed a petition at the tribunal against the election of Suswam.

There was confusion when Justice Okocha threw in the towel for alleged insecurity.

This led to the deflation of her vehicle’s tyres at Royal Choice Hotel, Makurdi, by some unknown persons.

Justice Mummir Ladan hails from Zamfara State.
