COURT RESERVES JUDGEMENT ON LAWAN VS MACHINA CASE

The Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu has adjourned judgement on the suit between BASHIR MACHINA and Senate President AHMED LAWAN.

The presiding judge, Justice FADIMA MURTALA AMINU, after listening to all the submissions of arguments by the defense councils, ruled that the judgement date would be communicated to all parties on the matter.

You would recall that MACHINA instituted a case against his party, APC and the Independent Electoral Commission INEC praying the court to compel INEC to uphold his nomination as well as his party the APC not to substitute his name as the valid winner of the party’s primary elections conducted on the May 28.;

Counsel to AHMED LAWAN, AHMED RAJI SAN prayed the court to strike out the case because it was filed out of time.
