The Court of Appeal in Abuja confirmed Inuwa Yahaya of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the legitimately elected governor of Gombe State on Thursday.
The appellate court, in a unanimous ruling by a three-member panel of justices, dismissed as without merit an appeal brought by the PDP’s candidate, Jibrin Barde, to contest the outcome of the state’s gubernatorial election on March 18.
The court found no basis to overturn the Gombe State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal’s decision, which certified Yahaya’s election victory as governor on September 23.
