A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart in Mubi, Adamawa State Malam Rabiu Rara has cautioned embattled Senators Mohammed Mana and Grace Bent of the Adamawa North and South Senatorial Districts not to disobey court order over their bid to return to the National Assembly.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday dismissed, as lacking in merit, the appeals filed by Senators Mana and Grace Bent challenging the return of Alhaji Umar Bindo Jibrilla and Hon Ahmed Hassan Barata as the PDP candidates in the primaries for Adamawa North and South Senatorial Districts respectively.
Rara stated this in an interview with our reporter yesterday on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s new forwarded list of senatorial candidates for the Adamawa North and South Senatorial Districts.
The form titled “Forwarding of Candidates Pursuant to orders of Court” with reference no: INEC/LEG/CR/11/07/349 displayed the names of Alhaji Jibrilla and Hon Barata as returned for Adamawa North and South Senatorial Districts respectively.
However, Mana and Bent were reported to have appealed the court ruling.
