The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in
Kano, says it has removed the name of Sha’aban Sharada as the APC House of
Representatives candidate for the Kano Municipal Federal Constituency,
following a Federal High Court order.
The Public Relations Officer of the commission, Alhaji Lawal
Garba, disclosed this in an interview in Kano on Monday.
According to him, the commission was still awaiting the name
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives candidate for
the Kano Municipal Constituency.
“We are working on the order of the court in removing the
name, but the APC leadership in the state is yet to present another name to
replace that of Sharada,” he said.
According to him, the name of Sharada, a Special Assistant
to President Muhammadu Buhari on Broadcast Media was earlier submitted to the
Commission by the party as its candidate.
It was that APC had earlier presented the name of Sharada as
the winner of the Primary election for the constituency but his opponent,
Alhaji Mukhtari Ishak-Yakasai challenged the election and sought redress in
Court.
