An FCT High Court has nullified the election of Omar Tata of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Zaki Federal Constituency in Bauchi state.

The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue certificate of return to the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Jatau Muhammad Auwal, who came second in the elections.

The FCT High Court, presided over by Justice Bello Kawu, declared as null and void the publication of the name of Mr Tata of the APC as winner of the seat in Zaki Federal Constituency. The court also ruled that the APC “does not have and cannot sponsor any candidate for Zaki Federal Constituency of Bauchi State for 2019 National Assembly Election.”

The judge further declared that the votes scored by Mr Tata in the election was null and void, then consequently ordered INEC to issue Certificate of Return to the candidate that come second in the election.

The court order followed an application filed by the PDP candidate in the election, Mr Auwal, who had challenged the emergence of Mr Tata as the winner of the election.

Mr Auwal had told the court that APC did not conduct any valid primary election through which Mr.Tata’s name was submitted to INEC as the flag-bearer for the party.The court order was made on May 16.

Honestly pdp damaged this country beyond repair. The president will not do more than his capacity.

Nigerians are earnestly looking forward to the next level with great expectations and what will make a resounding start for President Muhammadu Buhari would be his choice of Ministers for his second term agenda

ManirBK:
I can agree that his salaries & allowances are shared between his family members, friends, sadaqat(charity) & probably his son Yusuf has the lion share.Don't you think such can happen because of his integrity?

It is impossible to deploy the resources of logic to argue that Buhari has integrity. He doesn’t. Well, unless integrity means something to Buhari supporters other than what it actually means in the English language

The conduct of the APC in the last four years does not inspire hope that the next four will drip with sensitivity to religious or sectional balance.

By 2023, Nigerians will have another chance to elect a president. There is very little, if any, chance of Buhari’s successor being a Christian or Southerner. Rumoured to be keen on the job is el-Rufai, whose indifference to the plight of Christians in his state has seen communities explode with violence, one after the other, like firecrackers on a string.

Tinubu, the Southerner, who is allegedly being pressured to run, is a Muslim. The APC, it is safe to assume, will not hand its presidential ticket to a Christian, Northern or Southern. It is not wired to be balanced in anything it does.

This idiot is a professor of foolishness and stupidity.What a waste of Prof title.

If this is the type of educated illiterates APC relies on for advice, then I don't pity them at all.No wonder buhari has been a failure

"President Muhammadu Buhari......has mentioned that Kano State governor, Umar Ganduje is a responsible leader despite allegations of the governor receiving bribes putting his position in question...."
