The Court of Appeal in Abuja has nullified the decision of the Federal High Court in Kano that sought to halt the local government elections held in October 2024, News360 Nigeria reports.

This ruling marks a significant legal turnaround in the dispute between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC).

The APC had earlier approached the Federal High Court, alleging that the KANSIEC Chairman, Prof. Sani Malumfashi, and some of the electoral commissioners were active of the ruling New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

Based on this claim, the party sought a court injunction to prevent the elections from taking place.

Justice A.M. Amobeda of the Federal High Court had ruled in favor of the APC, ordering a suspension of the polls. However, the elections went ahead despite the injunction.

While delivering the judgment on Friday, Justice Oyewumi of the appeal court stated that the Federal High Court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the case, let alone deliver a ruling on it.

Consequently, the Court of Appeal upheld the appeal filed by the Kano State Government and affirmed the validity of the October polls.

As at the time of filing this report, the APC has yet to respond to the judgment and calls placed to the spokesperson of the party, Ahmad Aruwa by this reporter went unanswered.

Something that was not part of what was contested before them.

Check the name of the chief judge, you will understand. Open your eyes. Hypocrisy need to be considered and seen as legally punishable.

Please im not saying the chief judge wey delivered this judgment is hypocritical because he is an afunjarian

So what will the people that always yab the courts when judgments favour APC say to this? We should learn how to be objective in our reasoning and avoid parochial thoughts especially when things don't go their ways. I hope the LP ers read this

E just start ni

Even the suspended Rivers Governor is applauding the state of emergency so you should know what is happening. Abacha did more than this!

Land secured.

Nijja na drama!
Anoda court in anoda state will still rule otherwise in a related case, and it will stand.

It always depends on where the judge is inclined, not what the law says.

In Rivers, the courts assumed jurisdiction, ruled against the election and it stood.
Anyways, I'm not a judge!

APC sef
