The Court of Appeal, Abuja, on Monday affirmed the election of Ahmed Aliyu as governor of Sokoto State.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship in the state, Sai’du Umar, had challenged Aliyu’s victory in the March 18 election over alleged irregularities and non-compliance with the electoral act in the conduct of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He also alleged that the governor and his deputy, Idris Gobir, forged the certificates they presented to INEC before the election.
