Justice Gabriel Kolawole of a Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday affirmed that Muhammed, a son of the late Gen. Sani Abacha, is the Kano State governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change.
He, therefore, ordered the CPC to remove from its documents, the name of retired Gen. Ja’faru Lawal Isa as the winner of the January 12, 2011 governorship primaries.
Delivering judgement in a suit filed by Abacha to challenge the unlawful submission of Isa’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission as the party’s candidate for the April 16, 2011 governorship election, the judge stopped Isa from parading himself as the candidate and from campaigning for the election.
He warned that Isa risked being sent to prison if he went against the judgement and started to parade himself as the CPC candidate for the election.
In affirming Abacha’s candidature, Justice Kolawole said, “The plaintiff, having proved his case beyond reasonable doubt, is entitled to all his reliefs, especially when Ja’faru didn’t challenge his emergence at the primaries before any law court.”
He condemned the action of the CPC for fraudulently forwarding a loser’s name to INEC as its candidate for the polls, even when a clear winner had emerged at the primaries conducted in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) and supervised by the commission’s officials.
The judge upheld the primary election result in which Abacha scored 144,066 votes; Isa (78, 671); Sani Hangar (45,681) Anwalu Anwar (30,410) and Magaji Abdullahi (5,759).
He rejected the counter-claim by Isa that CPC’s Board of Trustees used its prerogative to nominate him as its candidate, adding that the purported prerogative was not only fraudulent, unlawful and illegal, but also constituted an affront on the provisions of the Electoral Act, which provides that only the name of the winner of the primary election shall be forwarded to INEC.
The court held that CPC, having screened and cleared Abacha to participate in the January 12 primary election, had no right or power under any law to deprive him of his victory at the polls.
Eh yah. And yet the BB mob would have us believe the CPC is a party of Puritans? First the “Anointed Son” romances IBB and now the candidate for their most priced asset (Kano State) is a name that makes even Bode George look like the father of all saints. But will the BB mob see anything wrong? Not a chance. Frigging hypocrites.
