The Gombe State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), challenging the election of Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya as governor and his deputy, Manassah Daniel Jatau.
ADC contested the declaration and return of Inuwa Yahaya, citing alleged discrepancies in the arrangement of names on the certificates of his deputy.
The tribunal ruled to strike out the case, considering it a pre-election matter, and emphasised that the Deputy Governor met the minimum certificate requirements to run for office.
Additionally, the tribunal dismissed ADC’s allegations of corrupt practices and vote-buying due to a lack of supporting evidence.
Other judgements are currently underway.
