PDP Candidate, Mr. Christian Abah From Benue State Sued For Certificate Forgery

The Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate for the House of Representatives in Ado/Opoku/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency of Benue State, Mr. Christian Abah, has been sued for certificate forgery. The member currently representing the Ado/Opoku/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency in the House, Hassan Sale, filed a suit before a Federal High Court in Abuja asking the court to disqualify Abah for allegedly presenting forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission. INEC has already said Abah will be declared elected by the commission as there were no opposing candidate against him in the forthcoming poll.

In his suit numbered FHC/ABJ/989/14 filed through his counsel, Mathias Emeribe, the plaintiff alleged that Abah committed perjury for allegedly lying on oath when he claimed in his INEC Form CF 001 that he never presented forged certificate to the commission. In a supporting affidavit, the plaintiff claimed that Abah had in 2011 in his INEC Form CF 001 claimed to have attended the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi from 1982-1983 and obtained a National Diploma in Accountancy. The plaintiff said a letter from the institution showed otherwise. Justice Gabriel Kolawole had adjourned the suit till February 5, 2015 for mention.
