The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Isah Mohammed Ashiru had filed a petition to challenge Sani’s election.
As the three-man tribunal panel led by Justice Victor Oviawe delivered its judgement on the election on Thursday, September 28, 2023, several news reports stated that the court sacked Sani and declared the Kaduna governorship election inconclusive.
However, contrary to the reports, Sani in his reaction to the judgment expressed his satisfaction with the court’s ruling, saying it was an affirmation that he’s the choice of the people.
