Sack Tambuwal APC Begs Supreme Court

-
  

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday asked the Supreme Court to sack Governor Waziri Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on the ground of irregularities in the primary election that produced him as the party’s candidate in 2014.

The decision of the party was a departure from its position when the matter was held at the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal.

 The party directed its counsel, Abdulganiyu Arobo, to concede to the appeal filed by Senator Umaru Dahiru to get judgment entered in favour of the appellant.


To pave way for the actualization of its new position, the APC changed its lead counsel, Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, who represented the party at the federal high court and the Court of Appeal, where he got favourable judgments for the party.

However, the appeal could not be heard as the court informed parties to wait till January 25, 2019 for its decision in the preliminary objection against hearing of the suit filed by Tambuwal.

Justice Dattijo subsequently fixed March 5, 2019 for hearing of the appeal.

BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

-
One end time prophecy runs through my mind every time I travel to the airport, or pick up a newspaper and read the latest advance in information technology. "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase" ( Daniel:12:4 ). Anyone who travels often has to marvel at the mass of people traveling to every corner of the world every day of the week. One meets all most the same congestion be it at airport or bus terminals. "Many shall run to and fro." Man's Desire for Knowledge Man seems to have been created with an indiscriminate desire to know, and then given the challenge by God of channeling that desire as one of the character-building opportunities of life. God placed in the midst of the garden of Eden a tree which would impart knowledge-good and evil knowledge. You cannot help but wonder if its placement in the garden was to test man. After al...
