The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal convened in Jos, Sokoto State, has affirmed the win of the All Progressives Congress. The tribunal’s decision was based on the fact that the petitioners, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and their candidate, could not sufficiently substantiate their case.
The PDP and their candidate, Saidu Umar, had taken their case to the tribunal, contesting the victory of the APC and its candidate, Ahmad Aliyu, in the gubernatorial election that occurred on March 18 in the state.
