The Supreme Court on Tuesday fixed January 20 to deliver judgement in the governorship appeal challenging the re-election of Abdullahi Ganduje as the governor of Kano State.
The Kaduna Division of the Court of Appeal had on November 22, 2019, reaffirmed Mr Ganduje, as duly elected in the March 23 Governorship Election in the state. Dissatisfied, the candidate of the PDP and his party approached the Kano State Election Petition Tribunal for election irregularities among other charges.
Mr Awomolo noted that the returning officer cancelled results in 207 polling units, declared the election inconclusive and rescheduled another election for March 23, 2019. “In conclusion, I urge your lordship to allow this appeal on the grounds that the appellant scored the highest votes at the election of March 9, 20,19 and satisfied section 179 a and b.”But the lawyer representing INEC, Ahmed Raji, urged the court to summarily dismiss the appeal.
