APC’s candidate in the Adamawa governorship election, Sen. Aisha Dahiru-Ahmed, popularly called “Binani,” withdrew the suit filed against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The All Progressives Congress ’s candidate in the Adamawa governorship election, Sen. Aisha Dahiru-Ahmed, popularly called “Binani,” on Wednesday withdrew the suit filed against the Independent National Electoral Commission . The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the APC candidate had prayed the court for a judicial review of the decision by INEC to…The All Progressives Congress ’s candidate in the Adamawa governorship election, Sen.
Justice Ekwo reminded Sheriff that an order was given in the last adjourned date directing him to address the court on whether the court had the jurisdiction to entertain the case or not. Ekwo, instead, ordered the APC candidate’s counsel to address the court on issue of jurisdiction before hearing the substantive motion.
But the electoral umpire had, on April 19, declared the Peoples Democratic Party ’s candidate and Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri the winner of the governorship election held in the state. She is also seeking an order of prohibition and certiorari preventing INEC and its agents from taking any further steps towards the declaration of the winner of the elections pending the determination of her application for judicial review.
This crisis, she said, led INEC to cancel the initial declaration which it had no power to do as only the election petition tribunal is vested with such powers.
