The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has affirmed the election of Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris.
The tribunal threw out the petition filed by PDP and its governorship candidate retired, Maj.-Gen. Aminu Bande, and declared Dr Nasir Idris of All Progressives Congress as the duly elected governor of Kebbi.
The three-man panel of the Tribunal led by Justice Ofem Ofem dismissed the petition by Maj. Gen. Aminu Bande (retd) of the PDP for lacking in merit.
The tribunal held that the petitioner could not substantiate their allegations of forgery and non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
