The Sokoto State Election Tribunal has affirmed the victory of Aminu Tambuwal as governor of the state. The tribunal on Wednesday dismissed the petition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Mr. Ahmed Aliyu for lacking in merit and inability to establish non-compliance.
It also resolved the allegations of non-compliance with the electoral act in the conduct of the election against the petitioners for failure to prove same. The evidence of the petitioners’ witnesses, especially witness number 10 is hearsay evidence that cannot be given any value in court to prove any of the allegations.
The tribunal, sitting at the Wuse Zone 2 Magistrate court after it was relocated from Sokoto State to Abuja for alleged security reasons, declared the petition as ‘proper in law.’
