Supreme Court upholds Uba Sani’s election as Kaduna governor

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the election of Uba Sani as the governor of Kaduna State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Governor Sani, who was the candidate of the APC, winner of the 18 March 2023 governorship election.

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court led by Kudirat Kekere-Ekun held that the appeal by Mohammed Isah of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lacked merit.

In the lead decision, Tijjani Abubakar, a member of the Supreme Court panel, said, “The appellant’s case is frivolous, vexatious and irritating. It is hereby dismissed for lacking in merit.”
