YOLA —A Federal High Court sitting in Yola, yesterday, sacked All Progressives Congress, APC, member of the House of Representatives-elect representing Yola North, Yola South and Girei federal constituency, Abdurauf Moddibo.

The incumbent member of the House of Representatives for the constituency, Lawal Garba, had dragged the member-elect to court on the ground that the primary election that made him a candidate of APC was inconclusive.

The court ruled that APC did not field a candidate for Yola North, Yola South and Girei federal constituency.

Delivering judgment, Justice Abdulaziz Anka directed Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to withdraw the certificate of return given to Modibbo and issue same to the runner up of the polls, Jafar Ribadu, PDP candidate. Counsel to the plaintiff, Yahaya Dangana, said he represented the plaintiff in four consolidated cases in the case of Lawal Abubakar, Saad and host of others. He said consequent upon the conduct of the primaries on October 7, 2018, by APC, the primary was adjudged to be inconclusive coupled with what transpired and a petition was written to the appeal committee of APC that the primary be revisited since it was believed to be inconclusive.

Gengen

APC AGAIN? AYE APC TI BAJE

General Buhari going, going...

Lol. This is interesting.

Now 4 - 1

PDP is winning mehn!

he will soon run to appeal court and they will reverse it again and the confusion will continue. Its like there is power and ruling tussles among the justices in nigeria or may be they have cabals within that arms of government , protecting their own. So much bastardization of the laws. Gone are the days that judgements are given based on the moral challenges but now, anything can be delivered probably for monetary gains.

Somebody need to call them to order otherwise they will destroy our democratic institutions
I believe Buhari is still very weak, all these nonsense shouldn’t be happening
He is giving Judiciary the power to determine the number of ruling party and opposition party in both chambers

So it shall be for all those APC candidates who used wuruwuru n ojoro to find their victory...


Next to sack is Kogi central senate elected candidate, Ayo Oseni n replace by people choice

Barrister Natasha H. Akpoti Insha Allah.


God bless victory in disguise my Barrister.

The only sure thing is that court cannot sack Buhari

what kind of moronic comment is this?This is a democratic system where independence of the judiciary,checks and balance is sacrosanct.

Baba will whip them again. The other time it was some judges of the High Court owning Bugatti and Lamborghini cars, later CJN became Bureau de Change and even forgot about one billion naira in his accounts. Just don't worry, Baba the saviour of the poor masses, the defender of the universe is coming for the corrupt judges.

It still baffles me what you learned throughout your schooling... True democracy means the three arms of government are independent of one another in decision making... It is so for check and balance...

The judgement is very fast. If our judiciary system can be speeding court cases like this, it's commendable.

See what sentiment has done to you... In sane climes the president doesn't have the sole power to remove or suspend the lowest ranking lawyer or judge... But it is a pity that the so called judiciary has been moving with the pigs and they got there cloth stained with dirts.
