Adamawa poll: Court declines to disqualify Gov Bindow over alleged certificate forgery vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The court, in a judgment delivered by Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, dismissed the suit lodged against Governor Bindow by an international non-governmental organisation that said it was concerned with the advancement of accountability and transparent governance in Nigeria.
It alleged that the governor who was sued as the 1st defendant, falsely declared his educational qualification and date of birth for the purpose of securing nomination ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to contest in the 2019 general elections. Besides, the court said it was an abuse of court process and an act of forum shopping, for the Claimant to have travelled to Abuja to challenge an alleged infraction that took place in Adamawa State, where available courts could have safely dealt with issues raised.
Specifically, the group had urged the court to invoke section 35 of the Electoral Act to disqualify and restrain Bindow from parading himself as eligible to participate in weekend’s governorship election in Adamawa State. They noted that whereas the form was submitted on October 25, 2018, the group filed the suit on December 12, 2018.
