THE Anambra governorship election petitions tribunal has relocated its sittings from Awka to Ilorin in Kwara State.

Secretary of the tribunal Mr. Surajo Gusau disclosed this yesterday when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka via telephone.

He said that the movement took place on December 17, adding that the tribunal had settled down in Ilorin.

Gusau, however, did not disclose the reasons for the relocation, saying it was based on administrative directive.

He said the tribunal was handling 12 cases apart from the one filed by Accord Party, which was withdrawn on December 9.

The tribunal was set up to handle petitions arising from the Anambra governorship election, won by Prof. Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
