Forgery Allegation: Gombe Gov’t Hails Court’s Ruling In Inuwa’s Favour
BY NAJIB SANI, GOMBE
Gombe State government has reacted to the Federal High Court’s judgement on Tuesday that dismissed the forgery allegation by the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate, Muhammed Jibrin Barde against Governor Inuwa Yahaya, the All Progressives Congress (APC) over allegations of documents forgery.
The Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Binta Nyako struck out the case for want of competence.
Special Adviser on Strategy and Information Management Ahmed Shuaibu Gara to Governor Inuwa in a press release issued yesterday said that the case filed by the PDP and Barde could be likened to an orphan who is in desperate need for survival.
“We have not bothered ourselves about the case in the first place because it lacked focus, merit and moral standing and we refused to be distracted by it in any way.
“For a person as Barde who did not participate in a primary election and who lacks any political base whatsoever to be instituting this kind of case defies all logic, especially after the state’s INEC had declared Governor Inuwa as the candidate for election. But we understand he was desperate to achieve a political base.
“Only a confused and idle person in one party will challenge the nomination of a candidate by another political party to which he has no link whatsoever. It is like a man claiming to be a husband to a wife on whom he did not pay any dowry’. Gara said.
The special adviser commended the court ruling as a clear evidence of the rule of law that governs the ruling APC in Nigeria as a departure from the era of impunity that characterized the previous PDP administration in the country.
