NNPP candidate challenges INEC over missing logo
The candidate for Nasarawa West senatorial district on the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) platform, Wakili Kabiru-Muhammad, has taken the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to the election tribunal. 

The candidate alleges that his party’s logo was adequately represented on the ballot papers by INEC during the February 25th presidential and National Assembly elections. Kabiru-Muhammad stated that the omission by INEC did not conform to the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022 and the 1999 Constitution.

Speaking to journalists in Lafia after filing his petition on Saturday, Kabiru-Muhammad called on the tribunal to nullify the election won by Ahmed Aliyu-Wadada of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). INEC and Aliyu-Wadada are listed as the first and second defendants, respectively. 

The NNPP candidate further explained that he approached the tribunal because of several irregularities during the election.

Mr Aliyu-Wadada emerged as the Nasarawa West senatorial election winner after polling 96,488 votes, while Shehu Tukur of the All Progressive Congress (APC) secured 47,717 votes. Kabiru-Muhammad advised his supporters to be patient and law-abiding as they await the outcome of the tribunal’s judgement.
