The Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna State on Thursday affirmed Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State as the winner of the March 9 governorship election in the State.

The appellate court upheld the judgement of the election tribunal which had earlier affirmed El-Rufai, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress as the winner of the election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared the governor the winner of the March 9 election in the state.

Dissatisfied with INEC’s declaration, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Isa Ashiru approached the Kaduna State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal where the tribunal dismissed his petition for lacking in merit.

Ashiru and his party had asked the tribunal to cancel a total of 515,951 votes, which they claimed were unlawfully allocated to the APC as well as 124,210 unlawful votes, which they said were added to the PDP, through wrong or double entry on the result sheets by INEC.

After the tribunal’s verdict, the PDP candidate went ahead to file an appeal.

The five-man panel of the Appeal Court of judges upheld the decision of the tribunal and declared El-Rufai as the duly elected governor of Kaduna State.

In the unanimous judgement delivered by Justice Olumuyiwa Aburu, the appellate court upheld the judgement of the tribunal which dismissed the petition of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ashiru for lacking in merit.

The Appellate Court aligned with the tribunal judgement which ruled that the PDP candidate could not prove his allegations of massive rigging and other electoral irregularities leveled against the governor at the poll.

Hell rufai is back on his thrown �

It would have been a surprise,shock and miracle, all at the same time if the judgment have gone the other way.
.
If Atiku could lose, who is Ashiru...?

Evidently the 'independent' judiciary has been bought, bullied and rendered redundant and just like the Legislature, the third leg of the tripod, they are now mere appendage of the Presidency.

How can we now fight arbitrariness and abuse of executive power, how can we strengthen the hard earned democracy when all the present government does is to stifle the voice of the Masses and the voice of reason.

Horrible and distasteful

It's apc turn now.. okorocha now El rufai.. still waiting for gan dollar

Sai malam sai next level

They did their homework well to get the judiciary disorganised before the general elections. So that whatever happens will always be in their favour.

The truth here is that he won. People still love him that was why he scored above 500k.

Learn to look deeply into someone and not social media description.

If about 500k voted him, then he is good. No need to hate someone because he won.
