The Court of Appeal has set aside the judgement by the National and State Houses of Assembly Tribunal voiding the election of Umar Mukhtari Zakari of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) for Tarauni Federal Constituency, Kano State.

A three-member panel of the court, in a judgement on Saturday in Abuja, upheld the arguments by counsel to Zakari and the NNPP, Mahmud Magaji (SAN), that the tribunal erred in law in reaching its decision.

In the lead judgement by Justice Obande Ogbuinya, the Court of Appeal held that the tribunal was wrong to have concluded that Zakari forged his credentials when the petitioners failed to establish their claim to that effect.

Zakari was declared the winner of the election held on February 25, which Ibrahim Hafiz Kawu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenged with a petition dated March 17, 2023.

The petitioner had claimed that Zakari purportedly forged the Housawa Special Primary School certificate, which he presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the grounds that the name on it was simply “Muktar Umar.”

The Court of Appeal, in its judgement on Saturday, held that the respondents, who were petitioners at the tribunal, failed to prove that Zakari was not the same person who attended the school and was awarded the certificate.

It proceeded to set aside the judgement of the tribunal, allowed the appeal, and affirmed Zakari’s election.

A N500M fine awaits both him and his boyfriend.

Some of the money will be used to fix the burnt section of the court while the rest will be used to pay 2023 bonuses for the Judges.

He must fight till the end
