Sokoto State Election Tribunal has on Wednesday affirmed the victory of Aminu Tambuwal as governor of the state.
The tribunal dismissed the petition of All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Mr Ahmed Aliyu. Presiding Judge said it’s lacking in merit. Their petition was dismissed because of inability to establish non-compliance.
The tribunal also resolved the allegations of non-compliance with the electoral act in the conduct of the election.
The tribunal maintained that request of the petitioners could not sail through for failure to prove same.
”The evidence of the petitioners’ witnesses especially witness number ten is hearsay evidence,” the Judge said. He said it could not be given any value in court to prove any of the allegations
