The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division on Thursday affirmed Senator Kaka Shehu Lawan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the February 25 senatorial election for the Borno Central senatorial seat.
The court held that the appellants were unable to prove their case before the court to warrant the nullification of the election.
Lawan scored hundred and thirty-five thousand and forty-three 135,043, while Kumalia managed and scored sixty-three thousand, three hundred and thirty-eight 63,338 votes. ” Now that the judicial process is over, we have no distraction whatsoever, we are going to concentrate on good governance.“On the other side, as a professional lawyer, I decided to keep quiet, because once a matter is in the court, it is sub judice, and parties stopped from commenting on the matter, that was why I refused to join issues with my opponent who is well known as a serial petitioner, habitual litigant and perennial loser.
He has no option but to accept defeat, and I further advise him to retire from politics, it is not his game.
