Tribunal nullifies senate president's election

Once in a while this blog tilts a lot towards the political side of things. It can't be helped though, with the kind of changes and upheavals going on in the country right now. Another bombshell was dropped by the judiciary.
The election of the current senate president, Senator David Mark,was nullified by the election tribunal, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was given orders to conduct fresh and credible elections in the two local government areas which are currently under contention, (Agatu and Okpokwu) within 60 days from the day of judgment.
The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) contender, Alhaji Usman Abubakar, challenged the return of Senator David Mark on the grounds that he (Abubakar) had the majority of the votes cast in seven of the nine local governemt areas of the senatorial district, and that the results from the two controversial local governments (Agatu and Okpokwu) were cancelled.
Well, that leaves the senate president in a very uncomfortable situation.
The outcomes of the cases handled by the election tribunals in the country have given the Nigerian judiciary more credibility, and we hope the current trend of upholding justice continues. It is really commendable.
