By Thav TvThe court found INEC faulty for refusing to replace Shekarau with Hanga before the election.The Supreme Court has sacked Ibrahim Shekarau as the senatorial candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party in Kano state.The apex court on Friday, March 10, 2023, nullified Shekarau’s candidacy and recognised Senator Rufa’i Hanga as the party’s candidate for Kano Central Senatorial District.

Following the February 25 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Shekarau as the winner of the Senatorial District election under NNPP.You’ll recall that the former governor of Kano state, who was nominated to contest for the senatorial election on the platform of the NNPP, abandoned his ticket and dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the election. Despite his defection to the PDP, INEC insisted that he remained the legitimate NNPP candidate, even though the party replaced him with Hanga.

The electoral commission, therefore declared him the winner of the election. According to INEC, Shekarau scored 456,787 votes to defeat the All Progressives Congress candidate, Alhaji Abdulkarim Zaura, who secured 168,677 votes.

No wonder Shekarau failed to accept the Certificate of Return. He saw it coming

Tinubu is next. A drug baron can never rule Nigeria.

He wasn't sacked he already resigned long ago,the court only awarded the seat to someone else

They didn't even allow him to enjoy his stay a bit

What then has he gained by abandoning his ticket and jumping into the pdp? Perhaps, atikus offer swept him off his feet.

Please note that, no Law Court is above the Supreme Court.

In my own view, I don't think he had intention of going to the Senate since he had already defected and got replaced by Hanga. So, it's a case closed

Good Good Good

Well done!

The APC must also kick out that Adamawa guy saying nonsense about Asiwaju

He rejected the Senatorial win before the judgement.
