Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday vacated the restraining order it gave last week stopping the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from regenerating, re-collating and announcing the gubernatorial election results of Tafawa Balewa LGA.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed the case brought before him through an ex-parte motion stopping the collation of the gubernatorial election results from Tafawa Balewa LGA .
The Federal High Court in Abuja had last week granted an order restraining INEC from collating Tafawa Balewa governorship election results, a development that created the political situation in the state.
The ex-parte motion was filed by Governor Mohammed Abubakar on the heels of the resumption of collation of gubernatorial election results as directed by INEC.
By this development, it is expected that INEC will proceed with the collation of the gubernatorial election results from Tafawa-Balewa LGA and eventually declare the winner any moment from now.
It would be recalled that PDP gubernatorial candidate, Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir is ahead of Governor Mohammed Abubakar with over 5, 000 votes following the supplementary election held last Saturday.
