The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Nigeria’s Supreme Court has affirmed the victory of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje in the March 9, 2019 Kano State governorship election.
The apex court dismissed the appeal by Abba Kabiru-Yusuf challenging the election of Ganduje.
In a unanimous judgment by a five-member panel led by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, the apex court held that Kabiru-Yusuf had not demonstrated that the concurrent judgments of the tribunal and Court of Appeal were perverse.
The apex court, therefore, dismissed the appeal, including the cross appeal for lacking in merit.
Others members of the panel are: Justices Kudirat Kekekere-Ekun, Olukayode Ariwoola, Amina Augie and Uwani Abba-Aji.
The court had earlier postponed the ruling last Thursday.
Recall that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad was absent when the Supreme Court commenced its judgement in the governorship appeal on Kano State.
In his place, Justice Sylvester Ngwuta led the five-member panel of justices.
