Mr Lawal Adamu Usman
A Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna has nullified the election of Lawal Adamu, Atiku’s ally and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate for Kaduna Central Senatorial District and ordered a fresh primary.
The plaintiff, Usman Ibrahim had approached the court asking it to nullify the primaries conducted by PDP in June on the ground of irregularities.
He told the court that the election was marred with over-voting, tampering with the delegate list, as well as denying his supporters voting rights.
Ibrahim, therefore, sought a court order to void the election of his co-contestant, Lawal Adamu, who was eventually declared the winner.
In his ruling, Justice Muhammad Garba Umar noted that all the complaints put forward by the plaintiff were substantial and he, therefore, nullified the primary.
The judge directed the party to organise a fresh primary in the next 14 days and provide an enabling environment for all the contestants to participate in the primary.
Speaking on the verdict, the plaintiff, Usman Ibrahim said the judiciary still remains the last hope of the common man.
He thanked his supporters and all those who stood for justice.
