INEC has revealed that the commission will adhere to the court order that said the the Adamawa supplementary governorship election should be suspended.
The High Court in Adamawa recently commanded the indefinite postponement of the governorship election in the state.
The judge, Abdul-azeez Waziri, said the elections should be put on hold until he rules on an application for an interlocutory injunction stopping INEC from conducting the polls.
INEC’s spokesperson, Festus Okoye shared that INEC would appeal the injunction to ensure it is reversed, but before the reversal, the electoral body will obey the instruction of the court.
His words, “While the commission has also complied with the order, it has equally taken steps to vacate this and dismiss the action,”
The supplementary governorship elections are set to hold in the remaining five states this Saturday.
