The Federal High Court in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Tuesday, nullified the election of Adamu Aliero, a former Governor of Kebbi State, as the senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Kebbi Central District.
The trial judge, Babagana Ashigar, ruled in favour of Haruna Sa’idu.
Sa’idu argued that he is the bona fide senatorial candidate of the PDP for the Kebbi Central District.
He sued Aliero, the incumbent senator of the district, the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a fresh primary for the Kebbi Central Senatorial District.
According to him, the fresh primary contravened the Electoral Act 2022
