Parties Drag Dankwambo to Court Over LG Elections

It is gathered that about four political parties have approached Gombe State High Court over Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo’s failure to conduct elections at the local government level.

Joined in the suit are the Gombe State Independent National Electoral Commission and all the local government areas in the state.

The plaintiffs are the Peoples for Democratic Change (PDC), Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), African Peoples Alliance (APPA) and Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN).

But counsel to the defendants, Ibrahim Hussaini, said his clients were not

served properly, a development which led to arguments at the court.

Usman argued that the defendants were duly served, while Hussaini asked the court to give them more time to reply to the motion properly.

The presiding judge, Justice David Awak, adjourned the case to May 10.
