NAN reports on Nov. 22, 2019 a five-man panel of the Court of Appeal, presided over by Justice Husaini Murkhtar, dismissed the appeals.
NAN reports that the Sokoto State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had on Oct. 2, 2019 dismissed the petition against Tambuwal.
But dissatisfied with the tribunal judgment, the APC, through its lead counsel, Dr Alex Izinyon (SAN) had appealed the judgment on three grounds of non-compliance with electoral laws, over voting and other irregularities.
