Gov Nyako accused AIT of working worth his political
opponents to unsettle his government.
Governor Murtala Nyako
The Court of Appeal sitting in Yola, on Wednesday dismissed
a suit instituted by one Umar Ardo challenging the
nomination of Governor Murtala Nyako as the PDP
candidate for the governorship election held in the state
during the 2011 general election.
In its lead judgement read by Ignatius Igwe, the court
upheld the judgement of the lower court which declared
Mr. Nyako the candidate of the PDP.
It held that Mr. Ardo has failed to prove, before it, that he
participated in the primary election.
The judge also held that Mr. Ardo lacks the constitutional
powers to challenge the outcome of elections, though
controversial, that he did not participate in.
The Appeal Court, however, agreed with the plaintiff that
the process that nominated Mr. Nyako was flawed. It ruled
that Mr. Nyako was not duly nominated as stipulated by the
provisions of the electoral act 2010 as amended, the PDP
constitution, and the constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
The judge, however, held that the court was constrained by
section 31 sub section (1) of the electoral act 2010 as
amended to order for fresh election.
He therefore dismissed the appeal.

So confused
