A’Court reserves judgment on qualification of Borno gov


The Court of Appeal, Jos Division Thursday heard an appeal filed before it by Mustapha Baba Shehuri against the qualification of Borno state Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum.

Hon. Shehuri, in a pre election suit no. CA/J/174/2019, is challenging Zulum, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate and winner of the election and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), pursuant to cause of action in the 2018 presentation of Zulum to INEC, by the APC, as its candidate.

Shehuri and four others had earlier challenged the decision of the APC before the Federal High Court, which dismissed the suit. They followed the judgment with an appeal, before the Jos Division of the Court of Appeal.

At Thursday’s proceedings, Justice Onyemenam JCA ruled that judgment was reserved, and a date would be communicated to parties in the suit.
