The court dismissed the appeal filed by Alhaji Salihu Maidaji of the Peoples Democratic Party against the judgment of the National and State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.
Unsatisfied with the tribunal ruling, Maidaji the immediate past Speaker of the Sokoto state House of Assembly approached the Appeal Court challenging the judgement of the lower court. Akawu said the judgment of the Tribunal that the petition was statute barred, as it was filed out of time, was affirmed by the Appeal Court and the appeal was subsequently dismissed.
Sarkia, a serving member in the state House of Assembly, contested against Hussaini Faru of the APC in the 2019 general election, and on Sept. 9, the Tribunal ordered for a supplementary election in six polling units of the constituency.
