Justice Pindigi, the former chairman of the Rivers state
governorship petitions tribunal, has recounted his
experience at the tribunal.
He said, "Two weeks before I was removed as chairman
of the Tribunal, I got a call from an unknown number,
asking for an appointment for us to meet in Kaduna. And
I asked, what for?
And the caller said, it's on a need to know basis. That
the details of the meeting would be made known to me in
Kaduna. And I declined.
The next was a call from the DSS, saying they were all
expecting me at meeting in Kaduna. And demanded why I
turned down the appointment. And I said, I'm a chairman
of a Tribunal, and do not have the luxury to attend
meetings. Especially one without an agenda.
And the caller from DSS said there was a petition of
fraud against me, in a case I handled in Kaduna in 2009.
And I asked him to charge me accordingly, in line with the
extant laws.
I was called again by another caller; who apologised to
me, on behalf of the DSS. And offered to compensate me
for the harassment I received from the DSS, and
rescheduled another meeting, in Kaduna. And I declined
again.
And the next was a letter removing me as the Chairman
of the Rivers State governorship petitions tribunal, and
replacing me with Justice Ambrosa. As is the practice, I
offered to brief Justice Ambrosa, on the proceedings so
far, but he said that won't be necessary that he has been
following the case.
Now, on the judgement delivered by Justice Ambrosa; it
will be unethical and unprofessional to denigrate, or
condemn the judgement of a contemporary colleague.
However, the Supreme Court has said, that for an election
to be annulled, the petitioner has to prove that elections
didn't hold at the polling units, where the winner was
returned elected. And I'm not sure that the Ambrosa's
judgement arrived through that route.”
