The Nasarawa West senatorial candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, Wakili Kabiru-Muhammad, has dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to the election tribunal over the omission of the party’s logo.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after filing his petition yesterday in Lafia, Kabiru-Muhammad said the logo of his party was not clearly captured on the ballot papers by INEC.
Daily Trust on Sunday reports that INEC and Ahmed Aliyu-Wadada of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), winner of the election, are the first and second defendants in the case respectively.

He alleged that the act of omission by INEC did not comply with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022 and the 1999 Constitution.
He, therefore, called on the tribunal to nullify the election.
