Appeal Court Affirms Ahmed Aliyu As Sokoto State Governor 

Ahmed Aliyu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has had his election as governor of Sokoto State affirmed by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

The three-member panel of justices upheld the victory of Aliyu in the governorship election held on March 18.

The appeal filed by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Saidu Umar, was dismissed by the court.

This decision by the Court of Appeal follows a previous judgment by the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Jos, Sokoto State, which had also upheld Aliyu’s victory.

The tribunal ruled that the PDP and its candidate failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their case. Despite their attempts to seek justice, the PDP and Umar were unsuccessful in their appeal at the Court of Appeal.
