The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the election of Uba Sani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the Governor of Kaduna State.
A five-member panel of the apex court, in a unanimous judgment on Friday, held that the appeal by Mohammed Ashiru Isah of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was without merit.
Justice Tijjani Abubakar, who read the lead judgment, held that the appeal was unmeritorious.
According to the court, the appellants failed to comply with the provision of Paragraphs 18(1) and (3) of the First Schedule to the Electoral Act 2022 to the filing of pre-hearing notice at the tribunal.
