While urging the judiciary to restore justice in Kano, Rafsanjani said: “Inconsistencies associated with the election tribunal rulings have created injustice”.

The Group charged INEC to restore public confidence in its processes as off-cycle elections hold in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa Stakes in the coming weeks.
