The judge fixed 20 October for the hearing of the substantive suit.
The Federal High Court in Kano Friday adjourned a case filed by Mohammed Abacha, challenging the Peoples Democratic Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission for recognising Sadiq Wali as the PDP governorship candidate in the state.
The crisis in the Kano chapter of the PDP worsened after the INEC published the name of Mr Wali – the son of Nigeria’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, as its governorship candidate. The younger Abacha claims to be the authentic governorship candidate of the party. He was elected the governorship candidate by a faction of the PDP in the state while Mr Wali emerged as the candidate of another faction of the party.However, the party’s national leaders recognised the faction which elected Mr Wali., which had initially supervised and certified the primary by the pro-Abacha faction, made a U-turn and recognised Mr Wali as the authentic candidate of the party.
