The Supreme Court has affirmed the nomination of the incumbent Deputy Governor of Jigawa State, Umar Namadi, as the lawful candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the March 11 governorship poll in the state.
The apex court, in a unanimous judgment delivered Friday in Abuja, affirmed Namadi’s nomination after dismissing the appeal challenging his emergence from the May 26, 2022 primary election of the party in Jigawa State.

The apex court, in its unanimous decision, agreed with lawyers to the respondents, Prince Lateef Fagbemi and Yakubu Ruba , that the case was frivolous, baseless and lacked merit and substance.
