The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has been asked to stop the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Musa Wada, from presenting himself as candidate of the party for the November 16, 2019 governorship election in the state on a count of alleged certificate forgery.
In a case with suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1147/2019, the plaintiff, Femi Joseph, alleged that Wada forged his primary school certificate, which he filled in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Form CF001 was false.
