The tribunal courtroom has provision for transmission of the judgment proceeding via Zoom. There is also tight security at the premises of Kaduna State High Court, Kawo Kaduna, where the tribunal sits.
The system of passing the judgement is the second time in a week that a governorship election petition tribunal in Nigeria has delivered its ruling via Zoom. Last Wednesday, the tribunal in Kano sacked Abba Yusuf, candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), as governor of the state and affirmed Yusuf Gawuna of the APC as the duly elected governor.
