The Supreme Court on Friday sacked Senator Ibrahim Shekarau and affirmed Rufai Hanga as the Senator-Elect for Kano Central Senatorial District under the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a five-member panel of the apex court, led by Justice Inyang Okoro, in a unanimous judgment faulted the refusal by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to replace Senator Shekarau with Hanga after the former Kano State governor left the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2023 election.
