Justice Gabriel Kolawole
of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has declined jurisdiction in the suits filed
in relation to the dispute on the inconclusive governorship election in Kogi
State. The
judge, in two judgment he delivered on Friday, dismissed the suits filed by the
state governor, Idris Wada and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
the running mate to the late Abubakar Audu, the governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), James Faleke, and three others on the ground
that his court lacked the jurisdiction to determine the issues raised.
