The Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division, on Saturday, upheld the decision of Federal High Court, Birnin Kebbi, which struck out suit challenging the validity of Sen. Bala Na’Allah’s nomination during the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries conducted in October 2018.

The suit filed by Mr Sadiq Sule-Iko was challenging the nomination of Na’Allah as the candidate of the APC Kebbi South Senatorial District.

The appellant prayed the appellate court to quash the lower court’s decision.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lower court struck out the case on the grounds that it was not filed within 14 days as required by the constitution.

It further held that in spite of the alleged irregularities, intimidation, police harassment at the primary election of October 3, 2018, and October 4, 2018, the plaintiff failed to file the suit within the required time thereby rendering the case “incompetent”.

The court also faulted Sule-Iko’s counsel for not signing the writ of summons and not supplying valid information to the court.
