The Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday reserved judgment in a petition filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its gubernatorial candidate, Abba Kabir-Yusuf.
The PDP and Kabir-Yusuf are challenging the declaration of Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje as the winner of March 23 election.
Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Halima Shamaki, after listening to the parties in the matter said that the judgment date would be communicated to them.
Shamaki thanked the parties for their cooperation and support to the tribunal for doing justice to all matters before it.
Earlier, Counsel to the INEC, Ahmad Raji, SAN, while adopting his final written addresses, prayed the tribunal to dismiss the petition for lacking in merit.
Counsel to Ganduje, Offiong Offiong SAN, adopting his final written addresses, also prayed the tribunal to dismiss the petition.
Alex Eziyon, SAN, APC Counsel described PDP’s petition as incompetent, having claimed by the petitioners that the lawful cancellation of 207 results was unjustifiable.
