Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal Hugh Court, Abuja this morning sacked Acting Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State.

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja delivered its verdict on Fintiri on the grounds that the former Deputy Governor, Bala Ngilari did not resign from his office as the Deputy Governor in accordance with the Constitution.
Ngilari, former deputy to removed Governor Murtala Nyako had filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an order compelling his swearing in as the governor of the state.

In his suit, marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/545/14, the plaintiff argued that his resignation letter was in breach of the provisions of sections 306(1), (2) and (5) of the 1999 Constitution because it was addressed to the Speaker and acted upon by the House of Assembly
In a ruling delivered on Wednesday morning, Justice Adeniji said Ngilari did not resign in accordance with Section 306 (1) (2) and (5) of the country.
The Judge declared Fintiri’s occupation of the Governor’s office as illegal and ordered the State’s Chief Judge or President of the Customary Court of Appeal to swear in Ngilari forthwith.
He stopped the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from conducting bye-election into the Governor’s office which they had earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday.
