From Noah Ebije, Kaduna
The leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) North West under the stewardship of Hon. Garba Muhammad Datti has congratulated the duo of Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani and that of Kebbi State Comrade Nasir Idris over their victory at the Supreme Court penultimate Friday against appeals by PDP candidates in their respective States.
A statement by APC Zonal Publicity Secretary (North West), Malam Musa Mailafiya Mada said, “The Supreme Court decision upheld the election of Uba Sani as the governor of Kaduna State by affirming the 24 November 2023 judgement of the Court of Appeal on the case.
“In the same vain, the Apex Court also held that it found no reason to set aside the verdicts of the Court of Appeal and the Kebbi State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal therefore, affirmed the election of Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, after dismissing the appeal filed by Aminu Bande of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“The National Vice Chairman North West Hon. Garba Datti opined that by affirming Senator Uba Sani and Nasir Idris as the duly elected Governors of Kaduna and Kebbi States respectively and dismissing the issues brought by appellants, the ruling marked the culmination of a long legal battle that had gripped the states for months.
“Datti maintained that the judgement is a triumph for the wish of the good people of both Kaduna and Kebbi States who freely handed their mandate to our party’s flag bearers for peace, unity and sustainable development to permeate.
“It behoves me to urge you to place partisan politics on the shelf and extend a hand of fellowship to the opposition to partner with you to make your States greater. The task ahead is daunting and you have to be focused on delivering your campaign promises. Datti insisted.
“The Zonal Executive Officers equally commend the resoluteness and tenacity of the judiciary for their unwaivering commitment to always remain on the side of Justice.”
