Senator, Suleiman Asonya Adokwe, (PDP, Nasarawa South) has fresh hurdles to cross as a Federal High Court in Abuja has been urged to sack him for allegedly presenting other people’s certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for election.
Adokwe assumed office in December 2015 having successfully challenged the election of Architect Salihu Hussaini Egyegbola of the APC in court.
The plaintiff, Mohammed Abubakar Ozegya, in the suit he filed through his lawyer, Mathew Burkaa, before the Federal High Court, Abuja, stated, in a supporting affidavit, that upon Adokwe’s assumption of office, he discovered that he (Adokwe) submitted to INEC, that the Senator presented certificates bearing other people’s names.
Ozegya, who claimed to be an indigene of Nasarawa State, said he discovered, in the Form CF001 (affidavit in support of personal particulars of person seeking election to the office or membership of the Senate) deposed to on December 16, 2014 at the High Court of Justice, Lafia, Nasarawa State, that the 1st defendant (Adokwe) “submitted the WAEC certificate of one Adokwe Solomon and primary school certificate of Sule Adokwai, purporting same to be his.
“It is a notorious fact in the Nasarawa South Senatorial District that the 1st defendant is, the certificate of one Adokwe Solomon and Sule Adokwai presented by the 1st defendant are certainly not his certificates.
“It is even more surprising that the 2nd defendant allowed the 1st defendant to use the WAEC and primary School certificates of an unknown third party to contest election in the first place. By presenting the WAEC certificate of one one Adokwe Solomon and Sule Adokwai in his Form CF001, the 1st defendant is not fit to continue to occupy the seat in the national Assembly,” the plaintiff said.
