In what many people described as the first victory…..the Court of Appeal seated in Sokoto in the earlier hour of today has sacked Senator representing Sokoto South, Abubakar shehu Tambuwal and Member representing Bodinga/Dange Shuni/Tureta Federal Constituency, Aliyu Shehu, both of the All Progressives Congress.
It ordered the return of the PDP candidates Ibrahim Danbaba for senate and Balarabe Kakale for House of Representatives.
The PDP candidates had filed the appeals against the judgment of the Election Petitions Tribunal which had upheld the elections of Senator Tambuwal and House of Representatives member Aliyu Shehu.
Delivering the judgement Wednesday the judge Federich Oho, said Danbaba and Kakale’s appeals succeeded.
Just like many others, this can only be said to be first victory…….which undoubtedly will end up in supreme court. Recall, PDP Governorship aspirant in Oyo state Senator Ademola Adeleke wins in appeal court too but the victory was short-lived as supreme court nullifies his victory.
