The senator representing Adamawa North, Elisha Abbo, has said that he is still the candidate of the All Progressive Congress in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, despite a court ruling that sacked him as the party’s flag bearer on Monday.
“I will appeal the case in order to serve as a deterrent to others and not set an evil precedence. Our democracy in Nigeria is a growing democracy, it hasn’t still matured, and we are still monitoring our democracy.
Wading in on the powers of the state court to sit over the case, a senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, said that the Electoral Act could not supersede the provisions of the power of the Constitution. He added, “The attempt by the National Assembly to hijack the powers of the state High Court is subversive of the tenets of federalism.In a different opinion to his colleague, a senior lawyer, Rasheed Adegoke, noted that although the Constitution was supreme, electoral matters as such were right to have been presided over by a Federal High Court.
