While delivering the judgement on Wednesday, the judge, Federich Oho, said Danbaba and Kakale’s appeals succeeded.

It was gathered that the PDP candidates had filed the appeals against the judgment of the Election Petitions Tribunal which had upheld the elections of Senator Tambuwal and House of Representatives member Aliyu Shehu.

With the latest verdict coming from the hugher court, Governor Tambuwal’s full control of Sokoto politics is coming to the know of all, a respondent told The DEFENDER.
