In November, the Court of Appeal affirmed the victory of Governor Mohammed in the March 18 governorship election.
Sadique Abubakar, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had filed an appeal after the election petition tribunal judgment upheld Governor Mohammed’s election.
One of the appellant’s pleas was that the election should be nullified, alleging that the forms and booklets used in the election were not properly filled.
However, the appeal court ruled that the appellant failed to prove this allegation with the necessary evidence.
