Court bars ex-Minister from holding public office in Nigeria
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has stopped a former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Pauline Tallen, from holding public office.
This followed the Minister’s disparaging comment on a decision of the Federal High Court last year.
The Federal High Court in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, had nullified the candidacy of Aishatu Dahiru, widely known as Binani, as the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for the recent general election.
