“Presentation of Certificate of Return to Senator-elect, Hon. Mohammed Sani Musa, representing Niger East Senatorial District of Niger State by INEC National Comm, Mohammed K. Haruna @ INEC HQ, Abuja,” the commission tweeted.The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed an appeal by David Umaru asking it to affirm him as the senator-elect of Niger East senatorial district.
The court said it was satisfied that the appellant, Mohammed Musa, was the rightful winner of the primary election APC conducted for the senatorial district. The court set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which on April 8 affirmed Mr Umaru as the winner of the senatorial seat. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the judgement of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which declared Mr Musa as the validly nominated candidate of the APC for the election.
The apex court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to, without delay, issue a certificate of return to Mr Musa as the senator representing Niger East.
