The Cross River State Election Petitions Tribunal began sitting in Calabar Monday.
The chairman of the tribunal, Justice Vincent Agbata, at the inaugural sitting at the State High Court on Mary Slessor Avenue in Calabar, vowed to dispense justice without fear or favour.
Other members of the tribunal are Justices Ishaku Kunda and Abubakar Bello.
Agbata said: “We are here to serve you, to serve the public. We are here to work, to render service. It is not an easy job. At the same time, it is equally as easy as it is. A lot depends on you if it will be easy or difficult.”
