BREAKING: Tribunal Declares Petition Challenging Tambuwal’s Election Victory As Valid

The Sokoto State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday concluded that the petition filed by Ahmed Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress , challenging the declaration of Governor Aminu Tambuwal as the winner of the governorship election is valid and proper in law.

The tribunal in its ruling on the objections raised against the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party and Governor Tambuwal urging it to dismiss the petition for lacking in merit, unanimously dismissed the objections and held that the petition was properly filed.It held that against the argument of the respondents that the petition disclosed substantial cause of action and was properly signed by the petitioners.

On the whole, the Justice Abbas Bawale led tribunal held that the application by the respondent lacks merit and constituted waste of judicial time. Mr Aliyu had earlier gone to the tribunal seeking to upturn the victory of Tambuwal in the 2019 Governorship election. The main governorship election which held on March 9 was declared inconclusive following cancellation of 75, 403 votes which were higher than the 3, 413 votes margin between the leading candidates.Unsatisfied with the outcome, Aliyu approached the tribunal challenging the return of Tambuwal as the governor-elect, on the grounds that the election was marred with irregularities.
