In the Kura/Madobi/Garun Malam Federal Constituency Election, the Court of Appeal in Abuja affirmed Yusuf Umar Datti of the New Nigeria People’s Party and sacks Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso of the All Progressives Congress.
The three-member panel, chaired by Justice Tunde Oyebamiji Awotoye, granted Yusuf Datti’s appeal.
The panel claimed that the appellant’s resignation date was incorrectly counted as the date of his party’s primary election and that Section 77 of the Electoral Act was improperly applied, stating that no court has jurisdiction over matters pertaining to party membership.
