The Kano central senatorial seat has been awarded to Rufai Hanga,news coming from the proceedings have it that the Apex court have decided to give it to Rufai following the refusal of the declared winner Ibrahim Shekarau refusal to accept the mandate.

Ibrahim Shekarau claimed he was no longer a member of the NNPP and had moved back to the PDP,but the party (NNPP) refused to notify the electoral commission of the development before the substitution deadline. Hence Shekarau name still remained on the ballot till after the election. After results emerged giving Ibrahim Shekarau the victory. He refused the certificate of return and told INEC he was no longer a member of the NNPP and has no right or claim to the mandate awarded to him.

Good to hear, Ibrahim Shekarau is a rare politician.

Good news I wonder why INEC has to go to the supreme court anyway the votes belong to the party and not the individual,they should have left it to the party to sort themselves out.
