The Court of Appeal, Abuja, on Tuesday adjourned till August 9, hearing on the appeal filed by Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, challenging the June 27 nullification of his election by a Federal High Court, Abuja.
Justice Morenikeji Ogunwumiju, who led four other judges, said the adjournment was at the instance of all the parties in the matter.
She said the adjournment was to ensure that all processes are properly filed and exchanged.
The judge asked all parties in the matter to maintain the status quo.
“This decision should not be misinterpreted to mean a stay-of-execution as we are yet to decide anything,’’ the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the judge as saying on the matter.
