Court Of Appeal Nullifies Nyako's Election As Adamawa Governor! by remmyz(m): 1:19pm On Feb 27, 2013
Just saw this as breraking news on Naija Pundit

The Court of Appeal, Yola, Adamawa State, has nullified the
election of Admiral Murtala Nyako (Rtd) as PDP candiadte in
the 2012 Adamawa Gubernatorial election!


The Adamawa state governorship election appeal tribunal sitting in Yola the Adamawa state capital on Wednesday nullified the 2012 Adamawa state governorship election in which Governor Muritala Nyako of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was declared winner by the Attahiru Jega led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Action Cogress of Nigeria (ACN) and its governorship candidate Chief Markus Gundiri had approached the tribunal immediately after the declaration Gov Nyako as the winner of the election.
The appeal court tribunal judge ruled that Muritala Nyako of the PDP came third in the last Adamawa state governorship election based on the authentic election results presented by the petitioner as exhibit.

“This honurable appeal tribunal hereby quash the victory of Governor Muritala Nyako following the mega irregularities and manipulation that marred the election that brought to the office of the Adamawa state governor” the judgement reads.

The tribunal has ordered for a fresh govenorship election in Adamawa state within the next 90days.

However, counsel to Governor Nyako stated that his client will appeal against the appellate court ruling at the Supreme court.

I guess the only tactic that Patience Jona is relying on has been uncovered... This shows how rotten the PDP is... What a shame. INEC should be sued for incompetence.

But why should a fresh election be done when it was confirmed that he actually came third. if he truly came, then it means someone came first and second which should suggests that the person who originall has the highest number of votes should be sworn. that is how it has always been.

The law has since been amended. Gubernatorial electoral disputes now end at the Supreme Court.

This is not justice. why fresh election when he came third. now he will still rig the next election, be declared winner by INEC and will start a fresh 4 years of second term.

sophisticated Rigging dey for Naija.

2015 = Drama.

PDP will not let go easy mek i tell you. Any Polticians (northern) hoping to rig for PDP better jet their famillies out of Naija 1 week before election. oooo.
Re: Court Of Appeal Nullifies Nyako's Election As Adamawa Governor! by Nobody: 5:27pm On Feb 27, 2013
Methinks its all a political strategy by GEJ to get Nyako to fall in line and weaken Ameachi's hold on the NGF. GEJ should continue playing beer palour politics with our democracy. Smhn instead of focusing on the deliverables to us the citizens.......
