A Yola high court has dismissed a
suit seeking to cancel the Adamawa state governorship election.
The suit was brought by Eric Theman, candidate of the
Movement for the Restoration and Defence of Democracy (MRDD).
Theman had dragged the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to the court for omitting his
party’s logo on the ballot papers.
He asked the court to order the
cancellation of the election and direct that a fresh poll be held.
But at its sitting on Friday,
Abdulazeez Waziri, judge handling the case, dismissed Theman’s suit for “lack
of evidence”.
He said the applicant failed to
provide any evidence to back his claim that his party’s logo was omitted.
