The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has petitioned the Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC) over uncomplimentary comments credited to Justice Benson Anya against the party and its members while delivering judgement on Kano governorship election petition.
Justice Anya allegedly said, Instead of some Kano politicians being allowed to use banditry and violence to abort democracy in Kano State, justice will be used to stop them from destroying democracy in Kano and upward.
Recall that NNPP lost at the governorship election petition tribunal in the petition filed by the All-Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking with journalists in Kano, the state chairman of the party, Hashimu Dungurawa, said it was a clear fact that the party was denied justice based on emotion and sentiments rather than justice and fairness.
According to him, the party has petitioned the NJC against the judges remarks. We shall see whether he is right to use personal sentiments and quash our victory and also seek justice on this, he said.
