An Abuja Federal High Court on Thursday upheld the election of the Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole upheld Mr Tambuwal’s election, dismissing the application challenging the December 4, 2014 All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election which saw Mr Tambuwal as party’s standard bearer.
The court held that the application lacked merit.
An APC aspirant, Umaru Dahiru, had filed an application before the court seeking that it to set aside the said primary election over allegation of non-compliance to the party’s rules in the selection of the candidate.
