There is a new twist to the ongoing political squabble in Adamawa state, as just three days to the bye-election in the state; the court has delivered judgement on the case filed by Governor Murtala Nyako’s Deputy, Bala Ingilari where he challenged the swearing-in of the Speaker.
The court in its judgment has ordered that ousted Deputy Governor, Ingilari should be reinstated as (acting) governor.
In a ruling delivered on Wednesday morning, Justice Adeniji said Ngilari did not resign in accordance with Section 306 (1) (2) and (5) of the country.
The Judge declared Fintiri’s occupation of the Governor’s office as illegal and ordered the State’s Chief Judge or President of the Customary Court of Appeal to swear in Ngilari forthwith.
He stopped the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from conducting bye-election into the Governor’s office.
Relatively, Governor Nyako’s suit challenging his impeachment by the Assembly is still going on as at press time.
