The Federal High Court, Abuja, has struck out a case brought before it by the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Gombe State, Mohammed Barde, against Governor Inuwa Yahaya, the Independent National Electoral Commission and two others.

They argued that the third defendant was inconsistent in the depositions he made on oath.

Meanwhile, challenging the competence of the suit through their counsel, Mr Marshall Abubakar, the APC and the governor asked the court to dismiss it for lack of jurisdiction, arguing that the PDP and its members lacked the legal right to institute an action to challenge the nomination of a candidate by another political party.
