The Court of Appeal, Abuja, will on Monday deliver judgment on the appeal challenging Governor Ahmed Aliyu’s victory in the Sokoto State governorship election.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship in the state, Sai’du Umar, challenged Aliyu’s victory in the election over alleged irregularities and non-compliance with the electoral act in the conduct of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The state’s governorship election petition tribunal headed by Justice Haruna Msheila dismissed the petition for lack of merit in its ruling delivered on September 30.
