Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal High Court in Yola has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the Adamawa Central Senatorial election.<\/p>\n

Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Aminu Abbas had been declared winner of the ticket when the PDP senatorial primary was held earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

The Federal High Court presided over by Justice Abdulaziz Anka, ruled Monday that the participation of Awwal Tukur as a political appointee in the primary invalidated the whole process.<\/p>\n

The suit had been filed by one of those who contested the ticket with the Speaker, Abubakar Ibrahim who faulted the primary, alleging, apart from Awwal Tukur\u2019s issue, that non-delegates voted during the primary.<\/p>\n

The Court in the judgement of Monday, placed an emphasis on the participation of Awwal Tukur, blaming the PDP for not conducting the primary in compliance with relevant laws.<\/p>\n

The court concluded that the PDP has no candidate for the Adamawa Central Senatorial election due next year.<\/p>\n
