The court has saved Tambuwal’s job as Sokoto governor

Presiding judge Justice Gabriel Kolawole on Friday, March 10 struck out the suit demanding Tambuwal’s removal while delivering a ruling on an application by the plaintiffs.

The judge ruled: “The application for amendment is hereby dismissed.

“The instant motion on notice marked FHC/ABJ/CS/09/2017 is not the one remitted by the Supreme Court for retrial.

”The case file that migrated from the Late Justice Evoh Chukwu of the Federal High Court to the Supreme Court was marked

FHC/ABJ/CS/11/2015.

“In view of the fact that the application is dismissed, the case file has become empty and there is nothing to adjourn for or to be heard. Consequently, the case file is struck out.”

Tambuwal recently received acting president Yemi Osinbajo who visited Sokoto state just in time to take part in a two-day clinic organised for the development of small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria.

He was received at the Sultan Abubakar III International Airport by Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and members of his cabinet.
