CPC gets nod to inspect polling materials
THE Presidential Election Petition Tribunal yesterday adjourned sine die (indefinitely) to enable it distil and rule on the propriety of an application brought by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, seeking to stall an attempt by the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) to ambush him in the course of full hearing of its petition, seeking to nullify the April 2011 presidential polls.
Last Monday, the Justice Ayo Isa Salami-led panel had adjourned till yesterday (Tuesday) to afford parties in the petition ample time to discuss and agree on a way out of the multiple applications, which was stalling the pre-hearing trial of the CPC petition.
But when the matter resumed yesterday, the hearing suffered another hitch as parties failed again to harmonise their positions and reach a compromise on some knotty legal issues.
