The Speaker of Adamawa State House of Assembly, Aminu Iya Abbas, has asked the Court of Appeal to set aside a judgement of the Federal High Court voiding
The Speaker whose ticket was voided on November 28 last year by the Federal High Court, had early in December instituted an appeal, asking the Yola Division of the Court of Appeal to upturn the trial court’s verdict.
He is also asking the appellate court to strike out the originating summons filed before the trial court by the 2nd respondent in the appeal, Ibrahim Mustapha who had instituted the High Court case that nullified his ticket. The trial court had ruled that Auwal Tukur incorrectly participated in the exercise, as he did not resign his appointment as the Chairman of Governing Council of the Adamawa State University Mubi.
