Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of the Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya, from the March 11 election in the state.
The judge gave the ruling in an application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate in the state, Mohammed Jibrin Barde.
PDP and Barde had in a suit filed in August last year urged the court to stop the governor and his deputy, Jatau Manassah Daniel from participating in the election for submitting forged certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
