The governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in Akwa Ibom State in the March 18 governorship election in the state, Senator Bassey Albert, has appealed to the President of the Court of Appeal to relocate the Election Petition Tribunal from Uyo to Abuja for safety reasons.
Albert, in a June 21 petition by his lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN), claimed that the tribunal venue was no longer safe for him and witnesses.
He also copied the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Olukayode Ariwoola and the tribunal chairman.
