The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Birnin Kebbi, has affirmed the victory of Senator Garba Musa Maidoki of the PDP winner Kebbi South Senatorial District
Senator Bala Ibn Na’allah of the APC had dragged Maidoki to the Election Tribunal challenging his emergance as a winner in the last February polls on the grounds of electoral malpractices
The Chairman of the Tribunal Justice Adeyemi Ajogebi while delivering judgement described the ground of the petition as weak, unsubstantiated and lack credible proofs that will warrant the court to reverse the outcome of the elections
The Defence Counsel, Barr Aminu Hassan while addressing newsmen shortly after the Judgement, said democracy has been strengthened by the action of the Tribunal adding that the electorates will continue to have confidence in the judiciary as the last hope of the common man
On the political ally celebrating the victory, Barr Sani Danyaro said the legal victory will heighten the spirit of the Legislator in the discharge of his responsibilities at the Red Chamber of the National Assembly
“We therefore are calling on the people of Kebbi South to support Senator Maidoki with prayers and pieces of advice on how best the Senatorial District will be taken to higher heights of development” Danyaro appealed
