| Gambo Lawan |
Few weeks to the governorship election in Borno State, a
Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday ordered the Independent National
Electoral Commission to remove Alhaji Mohammed Imam as the governorship
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed in his judgment on a suit challenging
the submission of Iman’s name to the INEC, declared Alhaji Gambo Lawan as the
valid governorship candidate of the party in Borno State.
The court held that Lawan had proved to the court that he
contested and validly won the party’s primary conducted on December 11, 2014 at
Arewa Suites in Abuja.
