Kano: Court Takes away Governorship Candidate from Mohammed Abacha
The report coming to us from Kano State states that the Court of Appeal sitting in Kano has overruled the decision of the High Court which declared Muhammad Abacha as the governorship candidate of Kano State under the PDP party.
The Court of Appeal ordered that Sadiq Wali, who was previously declared as a candidate by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is the correct candidate.
In the decision of the three judges, Justice Usman Musale, the court ruled that it is clear that the NEC of the party can elect the primary of the party and since Abacha did not make the election that the NEC will provide Wali, he has no authority to challenge the election.
