Counsel to Prof. Pantami, Barrister Tunde Falola, also adopted his preliminary objection and motion, supported by a six-paragraph affidavit deposed to by Shuaibu Usman Gwani.
The Federal High Court sitting in Gombe State has reserved judgment in a suit instituted by Usman Aliyu Garry, challenging the emergence of Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2027 Gombe State governorship election.
At the resumed hearing on Friday before Justice Amina Aliyu Mohammed, counsel to the PDP, Barrister S. M. Yusuf, informed the court that he had regularised his motion through an oral application.
Yusuf subsequently adopted all the processes contained in the regularised further affidavit in support of his motion and urged the court to strike out the suit.
He argued that it was incompetent under the provisions of Section 115 of the Evidence Act.
