KANO: Abuja supreme court ruled in favor of Gov. Ganduje's faction of the APC

 

A Supreme Court in Abuja upheld that kano state Governor’s  faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State against the  former state’s Governor Ibrahim Shekarau’s faction.

The five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Inyang Okoro, have today Friday, 6^th of May 2022 apprehended that the appeal on the earlier judgments of the Court of Appeal in Abuja lacked merit and is hereby dismissed.

It also ruled that the two other appeals in the matter will put up with  the decision.

Recall that the Court of Appeal which  since February this year dismissed the three appeals also held that the originating directives were wrongly commenced in Abuja, toting up that the issue  was considered an internal affair of the party.

All the appeals followed two rulings of a  High Court sitting in Abuja last year that  upheld the ward and local government congresses believed to have been won by the faction loyal to Shekarau and Senator Barau Jibril Maliya representing Kano North who happened to be the leaders of the faction.
