Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court Abuja on Monday vacated its earlier order halting the collation of results of the March 9 governorship election in Bauchi State.
Justice Ekwo in a Judgment held that the court lacks jurisdiction to stop the electoral body from performing its statutory function. He consequently ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to go ahead with the collation and announcement of the winner of the election. Having upheld the objection of INEC, the court held that going into the substantive suit will amount to a waste of the Court’s time.
Justice Ekwo had on March 18 stopped INEC from proceeding with the collation conclusion and announcement of the results the March 9 governorship election.
