The Supreme Court has affirmed Uba Sani’s election as Kaduna State Governor.
The People’s Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Mohammed Ashiru Isa, had their appeal dismissed by the court.
On November 24, 2023, the Abuja Court of Appeal unanimously validated Uba Sani’s election as Governor of Kaduna State.
The PDP and Ashiru contested the governorship election results in the state on March 18.
They alleged that Uba was not duly elected by a majority of valid votes cast in the election, adding that the election was invalid because of corrupt practices and non-compliance with provisions of the Electoral Act 2022.
Reading the lead judgment, Justice Tijani Abubakar held that the appellant had nothing useful to ask this court.
The appeal is vexatious, frivolous, and lacks merit.
He upheld the lower courts’ judgment, affirming the governor’s election.
