Garba also said that the allegation by the state Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye, further indicated that the government was trying to vilify the tribunal before the judgment so that it draws sympathy from the unsuspecting public in the event it is defeated.
The All Progressives Congress on Thursday warned the government of the New Nigeria People's Party in Kano State against dragging the name of the Chairman of the National and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal, Justice Flora Azinge to disrepute because of its apparent dismal defence performance at the tribunal.
The APC said the deliberate attempt by the Kano State government to malign the tribunal chairman for fear of what could be possibly the final judgement.
