The Appeal Court sitting in Sokoto state on Friday has affirmed the election victory of Governor Aminu Tambuwal.

The four-man panel in a unanimous decision upheld Tambuwalโ€™s election after dismissing the appeal filed by the Appellant and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto for lacking in merit.

Justice Hussein Muktar who presided over the sitting that lasted over two hours delivered the Lead judgement which affirmed the decision of the lower court that the appellant had failed to prove the allegations of over-voting.
