After the primary, Ribadu approached the court alleging irregularities in the exercise. In his judgment, the trial judge, Abdulaziz Anka, held that the primary was not in compliance with the 2022 Electoral Act, the nation’s constitution, and the party’s guidelines. “We are resilient and fully behind her . We will stand tall and strong to support any woman that has gone that far to occupy a seat that will bring meaningful development in our dear country.”
According to her, Nigeria is suffering from consequences of poor quality education, which is evident in the extremely high unemployment of educated youths.
