Binani, through her lawyers, had on Monday approached the court for an injunction restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from taking further action in relation to the declaration as governorship candidate by Hudu Yunus Ali, the ousted Permanent Electoral Commissioner in the state.

However, the court did not entertain Senator Binani’s ex parte application and directed Senator Binani’s legal team to ascertain whether it had jurisdiction to entertain the application.

The presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekuo, adjourned the case to 26 April, giving APC’s nominated lawyers three days to file their application. CONTINUE READING>>>
