The Court of Appeal, Abuja on Friday, upheld the nomination of Shehu Umar as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Bauchi South Senatorial District in the Feb. 25 election.
A three-member panel of judges, in two separate judgments, set aside the Nov. 21, 2022 judgment by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Cour (FHC), Abuja, voiding Umar’s nomination.
Justice Ridwan Abdullahi, who delivered the lead judgments, held that the trial court erred when it nullified the victory at the party’s primary held on May 29, 2022.
