Adamawa state in northeast Nigeria has a new Governor. He is Bala James Ngilari, the former deputy governor of the State. A Federal High court in Abuja today ordered that he be sworn in as governor in place of the acting governor of the state, Umaru Fintiri. Justice Adeniyi Ademola, in his judgment ruled that the purported resignation of Ngilari on July 14, 2014 was invalid, null and void as it breached the provisions of sections 306(1), (2) and (5) of the 1999 Constitution because it was addressed to the Speaker and acted upon by the House of Assembly. Hours after that judgement, the former Deputy Governor of the acting Chief Judge of the state swore in Mr Ngilari as governor.
