The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday has struck out a pre-election dispute suit filed by the former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, against ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Themomentng recalls that Amaechi had filed the suit challenging the emergence of Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, in a ruling, struck out the suit after the former governor’s lawyer, Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, moved a motion for withdrawal.
Okutepa informed the court that an application for the discontinuance of the case had already been filed after parties had settled their differences.
The senior lawyer prayed the court to strike out the case.
