A Federal High Court sitting in
Kaduna has upheld the nomination of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai as the All
Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for the governorship of the State.
The court ruled on Thursday that
El-Rufai was properly nominated as the APC Governorship Candidate for the 2019
governorship election in the State.
Yahaya Shinko, a former member of
the APC, had filed a suit at the court, challenging El-Rufai’s nomination.
He asked the court to set aside
El-Rufai’s nomination.
However, in his ruling on
Thursday, the presiding Judge, Justice Zainab Abubakar held that Yahaya
Shinko’s case lacks merit and affirmed the validity of the APC primaries.
According to the judge, the suit
was filed beyond the 14 days given to institute an action challenging the
outcome of the said election.
She struck out the matter for
lack of competence and merit.
