Court Strikes Out Sha’aban’s Appeal Against Uba Sani

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has dismissed the appeal filed by governorship aspirant Sani Sha’aban against Senator Uba Sani’s victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries held in May.

Mr Sule Shuaibu, Counsel to the APC, confirmed the Abuja court’s verdict in favor of Senator Uba Sani, the party’s governorship candidate, by all three Justices of the Court of Appeal on Wednesday in Abuja.

It should be noted that the Court of Appeal’s decision in suit CA/k/262/2022 was based on the preliminary objection of the APC legal team, which argued that the Appeal is incompetent due to Hon Sha’aban’s failure to transmit the complete record of Appeal within 10 days of filing the appeal, as required by law.

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council has praised the Court of Appeal’s decision to dismiss Alhaji Sani Mahmood Sha’aban’s lawsuit.

According to a statement issued by the Director of Strategic Communication, Malam Ibraheem Musa, the verdict is a sound verdict based on law and fact, and it will deepen the electoral process.

‘’The APC family is genuinely happy with the Court of Appeal judgement and with this victory, the party is now more focused on the task of winning the 2023 elections at all levels,’’ he said.

‘’The verdict has indeed demonstrated that the judiciary is blind to sentiments and other extraneous considerations. Rather, it is guided by the constitution, electoral act and rules of the court,’’ the statement added.
