The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of Muhammad Abacha challenging the victory of Sadiq Aminu Wali, as Kano governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Recall that the Kano division of the Court of Appeal on February 10, 2023, sacked Mohammed Abacha, as the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the state.
In a unanimous Judgement, on Wednesday, the Apex Court ruled that it is only the National Working Committee of a political party that is empowered to conduct primary elections and not the State Chapter.
The apex court five-man panel, led by Justice John Iyang Okoro ruled that Sadiq Aminu Wali remains the authentic Gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Kano State, having been elected through a lawful primary election, conducted by the National Working Committee of the Party.
