Abuja court dismisses forgery suit against INEC, PDP, Borno Central senatorial candidate

Justice Emeka Nwite of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, on Tuesday, dismissed a suit challenging the nomination of Muhammed Kumaila as the

candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the forthcoming Borno Central Senatorial District election.

The plaintiff had emerged winner of the May 23, 2022, primary election of the PDP for the Borno Central Senatorial seat. The PDP accordingly submitted the name of Muhammed Kumaila to INEC, which the electoral umpire in turn published as the candidate of the PDP for the Borno Central senatorial election.

Delivering judgment in the matter on Tuesday, Justice Nwite agreed with the PDP and Kumaila that the case of the plaintiff was defective having been commenced through an originating summons instead of a writ of summons.
