By Anjorin Usman,
A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept Mohammed Sani Musa as candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Niger-East Senatorial District.

Justice F. O. Giwa Ogunbanjo, in a judgment on Thursday, said Musa won the APC’s primary held on October 2, 2018 and not Senator David Umaru , incumbent Chairman of Senate Committee of Judiciary laying claim to being the candidate of the APC for the same position.

Justice Ogunbanjo, in the judgment in suit marked: FHC:ABJ/CS/1120/2018, filed by Musa, upheld the argument of the plaintiff’s lawyer, Wole Olanipekun (SAN) and granted all the reliefs sought.
