On Friday, the Abuja Division of the Appeal Court upheld Uba Sani’s position as the legitimately elected Governor of Kaduna State, countering the Kaduna State governorship election petition tribunal’s nullification of Sani’s victory.
Isah Ashiru, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, contested Sani’s win in court. Simultaneously, in a separate instance, the Court of Appeal in Lagos similarly confirmed Francis Nwifuru as the Governor of Ebonyi State. This ruling was announced by a three-person panel on the same day.
