A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Friday, declared Governor Aminu Tambuwal as the duly elected governor of Sokoto State.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole dismissed the application challenging the December 4, 2014 primary election of the All Progressives Congress in Sokoto State, through which Mr. Tambuwal emerged flagbearer of the APC.

Recall that another party member, Umar Dahiru, had approached the court, requesting that it sets aside the APC primaries.

He had argued that there was non-compliance of the said primaries to laid down rules by the party to select its flagbearer.
