Kaduna governor files cross-appeal against part of tribunal’s judgement

Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, who narrowly won at the state’s governorship election petition tribunal to keep his position, has filed a cross-appeal against an aspect of the tribunal’s judgement.

The governor’s rival in the disputed 18 March governorship election, Isah Ashiru of the PDP, has also filed an appeal to contest unfavourable aspect of the tribunal’s judgement.

The overall decision of the tribunal had affirmed Mr Sani’s election, but the tribunal had noted that it could have sacked the governor and ordered a supplementary poll.
