The Court of Appeal Abuja Division has fixed Tuesday 21st November, 2023 for judgement in appeal filed by the member representing Nasarawo Binyeri constituency at the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Hon. Njidda Babangida Mohammed.
The notice of judgement followed hearing in the appeal filed by Hon. Njidda, challenging the verdict of the Election Petitions Tribunal which voided his election at the 2 polling units in his constituency.
While delivering its judgement, the tribunal invalidated the election conducted at Bura Manga unit in Nasarawo Jereng Ward and Sitim Koleni unit in Gangfada ward respectively on the 18th March, 2023.
The petition was instituted by the former member of the constituency and the candidate of the PDP, Hon. Umar Nashon Gubi.
Hon. Nashon dragged Hon. Njidda who won election under APC platform before the tribunal, alleging that his election was not in substantial compliance with the electoral act and prayed the tribunal to nullify it.
On his part, Hon. Jidda who was not satisfied with the decision of the tribunal, appealed the judgement and asked the appellate court to upturn or set aside the verdict of the tribunal.
