The legal battle on the authenticity of the All Progressives Congress candidate for Jega-Aliero-Gwandu Federal Constituency of Kebbi State was on Friday laid to rest by the Supreme Court.
The apex court voided and dismissed the nomination of one Kabir Jega whose name was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission by the APC as its candidate.
The apex court, while dismissing the APC’s appeal, restored Mohammed Jega as the lawful and authentic candidate that should be recognised by the APC and INEC. Also, the purported nomination and submission of name of Kabir was thrown out by the court on the ground that he emerged winner from an unlawful primary election conducted by the State Working Committee of the APC.
