Adamu Garba, business mogul and former presidential aspirant under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has attributed his absence at the hearing of his suit against Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey to late reception of notice for a hearing.

Garba who disclosed this in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle said that his team requested an adjournment to help them prepare adequately.

Nigerian rights activist, Tope Akinyode, who filed a suit challenging the criminal complaint administered by Garba against CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, claimed that former Presidential aspirant, Garba, and his legal team were not in the court for hearing on Wednesday, November 25, 2020.

Reacting to the claim, Garba said that he will pursue the case to a logical conclusion.

Our lawyers got the notice for the hearing pretty late, so we had to request for adjournment to the case which the court graciously granted. Thus the 21st April 2021 date was set.

However, we may approach the court to request for an earlier date.

Stay tuned. We will win this.
