The Yobe State governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Alhaji Adamu Waziri is heading to court to challenge the
victory of the Governor Ibrahim Geidam during the April 11
governorship election in the state.

The former Minister of Police Affairs insists Governor Geidam would be
sworn-in as the Governor of Yobe State for a third time.

Governor Geidam was first sworn-in as the state governor on January
27, 2009 following the death of the then governor, Senator Mamman Ali.

He was sworn-in a second time on May 29, 2011 after he won the
governorship election on April 26, 2011.

Alhaji Waziri, who got 179,700 votes during the governorship election
believes that it is unconstitutional for Governor Geidam to be
sworn-in a third time.
