Panel of judges dissolved, Buruji Kashamu’s appeal against tribunal judgment stalled

The appeal filed by Senator Buruji Kashamu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the judgment of election tribunal that sat in Abeokuta, Ogun State, could not continue on Tuesday due to the dissolution of panel of judges.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the tribunal, chaired by Justice Tobi Ebiowel, had ordered for rerun in 110 polling units within Ogun East senatorial district.
Mr Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had challenged the declaration of Kashamu as winner of the March 28 senatorial election.
The registrar of the Court of Appeal, Ibadan, Oyo State, where Kashamu filed his appealed, informed parties that President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zanaib Bulkachukwa, had dissolved the panel.
The court registrar said that new panel of judges had been constituted, but the date the case would come up was yet to be fixed.
While reacting to the dissolution of the panel, Mr Adebayo Dayo, Chairman, Ogun PDP, said that the judiciary was trying to be fair to all the parties.
