A Federal High Court in Abuja has upheld the election of Honourable Musa Muhammad Adamu representing Baburai/Garki Federal Constituency of Jigawa State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in the House of Representatives.
In the judgment, Justice Ojukwu held that although there were discrepancies in the spelling of Adamu’s name in the three copies of the result tendered, there was no evidence that they belong to another person, more so when the results carried the same passport photograph of Adamu. The judge also faulted the plaintiff’s claim that Adamu did not resign within 30 days before the election, as required under the Constitution.Justice Ojukwu noted that Adamu was dully cleared by INEC to contest the election.
Earlier, Justice Ojukwu dismissed the preliminary objection filed against the suit and held that her court has the jurisdiction to determine the substantive matter.
