The Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has upheld the election of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress, APC by dismissing the People’s Democratic Party’s, PDP petition.
The PDP candidate, Abba Kabir-Yusuf had challenged the victory of Ganduje in the March 23rd governorship election.
The three man panel led by the Chairman, Justice Halima Shamaki, delivering judgment upheld Ganduje as the duly elected and held that PDP failed to prove all the allegations against him.
In a unanimous judgment, the tribunal struck out some sections of the petition because they were just speculations and held that the petitioners failed to give the number of votes for the March 9 election by tendering certified true copies of result sheets.
He held that the PDP candidate failed to establish his petitions against Ganduje, saying that the cancellation of two hundred and seven polling units was constitutional and valid.
