A Federal High Court sitting in Kano on Wednesday declined to grant an interim injunction sought by the All Progressives Congress to stop the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission from conducting chairmanship and councillorship elections in the 44 local government areas of the state.
The APC and one Aminu Aliyu Takai had filed a motion seeking to confine KANSIEC, the Kano State House of Assembly, and other defendants from proceeding with the polls pending the determination of a motion on notice.
However, presiding over the case, Justice Simon Amobeda refused to grant the ex-parte application, which also requested the court to direct KANSIEC and other defendants to maintain the status quo regarding preparations for the election.
In his ruling, the judge stated, “I am unable to grant the ex-parte application for an interim injunction at this stage. All parties must be allowed to present their case.”
