BREAKING: Court Annuls Adamawa Speaker’s Senatorial Primary | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The Federal High Court I, sitting in Yola has annulled the PDP senatorial primary for Adamawa Central Senatorial District, conducted that produced Aminu Iya-Abbas.

Justice Abdulaaziz Anka, in his ruling on the suit filed by Mohammed Modibbo versus the Peoples Democratic Party and four others, voided the senatorial primary elections for Adamawa Central conducted by the PDP.

The judge held that the participation of the fourth defendant, Chairman, Governing Council Adamawa State University, Alhaji Auwal Tukur, as a political appointee without compliance to the new Electoral Act 2022 violated the process, hence “the entire process is hereby nullified.”

He said,

“The only issue proved before the court is as regards the fourth defendant’s engagement in the primary election conducted, him being a political appointee i.e chairman governing council Adamawa State University, Mubi, accordingly, the entire process is hereby nullified by this honourable court.

“The consequence, of which the party, will not be able to field a candidate for the general election come 2023 because of substantial non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2022. This is the consequential judgement of the court, against the entire political party and it’s members.”

The speaker of the Adamawa State House, Iya-Abbas, defeated Tukur, son of former chairman of the PDP, Babanga Tukur and five other aspirants to clinch the senatorial ticket of the PDP, for Adamawa Central Senatorial District.

Dissatisfied with the outcome of the primary, Modibbo filed a suit challenging the conduct of the primaries, especially whether Auwal Tukur, as a political appointee having not resigned his appointment, was eligible to participate in the primaries.

Hence, the court in it’s ruling therefore voided the election on the grounds that Tukur’s participation, in the senatorial primary conducted by the PDP, violated the Electoral Act 2022.
