The election of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of the All
Progressives Congres (APC) as the Governor of Kano State, has been upheld by
the Supreme Court.
The petition filed by the candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Abba Kabir Yusuf was struck out by seven-man panel of
the court who unanimously held that it lacked merit.
Delivering the lead judgement, Justice Sylvester Ngwuta
stated that the petitioner failed to provide cogent reason for the apex court to
set aside the judgement of the two lower courts (election tribunal and Court of
Appeal) which upheld Ganduje's election.
