The Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna on Thursday upheld the
nomination of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai as the All Progressives
Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Kaduna state in the last
general election.
Yahaya Shinko, a former member of the APC, had filed a suit at
the court challenging the nomination of Malam Nasir El-Rufai and
prayed the court to set aside the said nomination.
Delivering judgement today, the presiding Judge, Justice Zainab
Abubakar, ruled that Yahaya Shinko’s case lacks merit and affirmed
the validity of the APC primaries that produced El-Rufai.
Justice Zainab noted that the suit was filed beyond the 14 days
given to institute an action challenging the outcome of the said
election.
She then struck out the matter for incompetence.
