Remember we last published that Daniel Onjeh filed a petition seeking a declaration that the former President of Senate, David Mark, was wrongly declared winner of the Benue South Senatorial election.
He alleged electoral malpractices and substantial infringement on the Electoral Act, praying the tribunal to nullify the election and order for fresh poll.
Yesterday, The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Makurdi fixed August 18 for former Senate President David Mark to testify.
Mark was taken to the tribunal by Daniel Onjeh of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on his declaration by INEC as the winner of the Benue South seat.
He averred that INEC officials were compromised and voters financially induced by PDP agents at various polling units.
The petitioner has urged the court to nullify the election and order a fresh poll.
Mark’s counsel Mr Kenneth Ikonne, told the tribunal on that his client would testify during the next adjourned date to enable him close his case.
The tribunal Chairman, Justice Mosumola Dipeolu, adjourned the case to August 18, for further defence.
