The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Sa’idu Umar challenging the election of Governor Ahmad Aliyu of Sokoto State.
A five-member panel of the court, in a unanimous judgment on Thursday, held that the appellant was without merit.
Justice Tijjani Abubakar, in the lead judgment, held that the appellants failed to prove their claim of non-compliance and proceeded to affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which earlier upheld Aliyu’s election.
