The judge, Abdul-azeez Waziri, said the polls should be put on hold until he rules on an application for an interlocutory injunction barring the Independent National Electoral Commission from conducting the polls.A political party, the Movement for Restoration and Defence of Democracy and its supposed candidate, Eric Theman, had asked the court to cancel the election on the grounds that the party’s logo is not on the ballot paper.
Counsel to the PDP, Okechukwu Udeze leading six others, also applied for PDP to be joined in the suit. The MRDD counsel said the only business of the court for the day was the March 14 application for an interlocutory injunction to stop the supplementary election, not the hearing of any motion. He cited section 25 subsection 1 of the Constitution, saying that “INEC being a federal organ, challenging its decision should be through a federal high court not a state high court.”
What will happen if after may 29th
The Question here why is court interfering of inconclusive election , I thought INEC is independence. Why can’t court allowed INEC to complete the election
What happened to Rivers state court order?
🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆
Anarchy looming! Judiciary has taken over inecnigeria job, because they don't know their right from their left. They refused to acquaint themselves with the Electoral act.
What kind of kangaroo order is this? Indefinite postponement of polls in adamawa? On what ground? Or because PDP is favored to win? I think Nigeria needs a total overhaul of the judiciary bcoz they are weak and easily compromised. abati1990 renoomokri de
I expected much than that. You suspended a legitimate CJN and impose a Sharia chief Judge on us! It shall never be well with all this cabals in control of our hard earned democracy.
I advice inecnigeria to cancel all the elections. When did MBuhari started obeying court orders?
isa joke
So Buhari inecnigeria can't conduct flawless election. shame
The court is mad The judge is mad The president is mad Infact everybody are mad......Am tired of this country since when did court has powers to do this shit? What am I even saying, when army became inec collating officers
So until Buhari goes to London and come back, naija is in dire stress.
They own the court, they have the inec, we re not suprise atall. This inec chairman have never concluded anything in his life, even his life is inconclusive
Is This Good For Our Democracy?
What is the reason for the suspension? This Govt and INEC are confused.

Nigerian politicians will just be confusing the system up and down.
