Abuja — The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, yesterday, urged embattled President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Isa Ayo Salami, to do justice to electoral system in the country by sacking President Goodluck Jonathan.

The party through a motion on notice it filed yesterday, pursuant to paragraph 18[11] of the Electoral Act 2010, as amended, and Section 149 [D] of the Evidence Act, pleaded the five-man Presidential Election Petition Tribunal panel, to enter judgment in favour of its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

Alleging a subterranean collaboration between Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the petitioner, contended that it was the reason why the electoral body refused to make available to it the materials used in the conduct of the April 16 Presidential election.
