The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday adjourned to Wednesday, the judgment in a suit seeking disqualification of the governor-elect and deputy governor-elect of Anambra State in the November 6 governorship election, Prof Charles Soludo and Onyeka Ibezim.

The judgment in the suit was initially fixed for Tuesday, November 30, by Justice Taiwo Oladipupo Taiwo.
However, the Judge could not sit as scheduled.

No reason was adduced for shifting the judgment in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/711/2021.

The clerk of the court had apologized to lawyers involved in the legal battle and urged them to bear with the court.

Plaintiffs in the suit, Adindu Valentine and Egwudike Chukwuebuk are claiming that Soludo provided false information in the affidavit (Form EC9) he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and thus should be deemed unqualified to stand for the election.
