Adamawa Reps Seat: Appeal Court Sacks PDP's Salihu, Returns Zango (APC) Winner by fergie001: 2:32pm On Oct 18, 2023
The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked the House of Reps member representing Yola North/Yola South/Girei Federal Constituency, Mohammed Salihu (Abba Girei) of the PDP.

The Appeal Court returned the appellant I.e. Candidate of the APC, Hon Abubakar Babazango (Abaza) as duly elected, and further ordered INEC to withdraw the Certificate of Return (CoR) awarded to the 2nd Respondent (Abba Girei) and issue a fresh CoR to Zango as duly elected.

On February 27, INEC declared the PDP Candidate, Abba Girei as winner with 71223 votes defeating the APC's Abaza who scored 54335 votes.

Dissatisfied with the outcome, the APC & Zango approached the tribunal.

In his petition, Zango alleged that Salihu presented a forged primary school certificate and birth certificate. He asked the tribunal to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue him a certificate of return as he came second during the election.

While delivering judgement on 21st August 2023, Justice Nkereuwem Obot dismissed the petition for lacking merit and awarded N600,000 in favour of the Respondents.

Dissatisfied with the outcome, Zango approached the Appellate Court where his appeal now succeeds.


In likewise fashion, the Appeal Court yesterday, also sacked the House of Reps member representing Maiha/Mubi North/Mubi South Federal Constituency, Hon. Jingi Rufai of the PDP.

The Appellate Court returned the appellant i.e. Candidate of the APC, Abubakar Magaji Jaafar as duly elected, and further ordered INEC to withdraw the Certificate of Return (CoR) awarded to the 2nd Respondent (Rufai) and issue a fresh CoR to Jafaar as duly elected.

Recall that INEC had on 27th February announced Hon Jingi winner with 45047 votes against Magaji's 43695 votes.

Jaafar in his petition before the tribunal, alleged that Rufai, who was declared the winner of the election conducted on February 25, 2023, was not validly elected due to over-voting.

He also asked the tribunal to nullify INEC’s proclamation of Rufai as the winner of the election and also compel the electoral body to withdraw the CoR given to the PDP candidate. He also prayed that the tribunal should order INEC to return him as the candidate elected.

Delivering the judgement on August 21, Justice Aloysius Okuma, declared that the petitioner had failed to provide credible evidence to prove his case. He dismissed the petition in its entirety and awarded N600,000 against the petitioner and in favour of Jingi Rufai.

Unsurprisingly dissatisfied, he approached the Appellate Court, urging same to upturn the decision of the tribunal. A decision that now innures to his benefit.
