YOLA —A Federal High Court sitting in Yola, yesterday, sacked All Progressives Congress, APC, member of the House of Representatives-elect representing Yola North, Yola South and Girei federal constituency, Abdurauf Moddibo.

The incumbent member of the House of
Representatives for the constituency, Lawal Garba, had dragged the
member-elect to court on the ground that the primary election that made
him a candidate of APC was inconclusive.

The court ruled that APC did not field a candidate for Yola North, Yola South and Girei federal constituency.

Delivering
judgment, Justice Abdulaziz Anka directed Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, to withdraw the certificate of return given
to Modibbo and issue same to the runner up of the polls, Jafar Ribadu,
PDP candidate. Counsel to the plaintiff, Yahaya Dangana, said he
represented the plaintiff in four consolidated cases in the case of
Lawal Abubakar, Saad and host of others. He said consequent upon the
conduct of the primaries on October 7, 2018, by APC, the primary was
adjudged to be inconclusive coupled with what transpired and a petition
was written to the appeal committee of APC that the primary be revisited
since it was believed to be inconclusive.
