BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Nasir Idris as Kebbi State Governor

In a breaking development, the Supreme Court has confirmed the election victory of Nasir Idris as the Governor of Kebbi State. The Independent National Electoral Commission initially declared the state election inconclusive due to cancellations and overvoting in certain Local Government Areas.

On April 15, the electoral commission organized a supplementary election, wherein Idris, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, secured 409,225 votes, surpassing Aminu Bande of the Peoples Democratic Party, who garnered 360,940 votes.

Dissatisfied with the election outcome, Bande contested it at the tribunal, alleging over-voting in specific polling units and questioning Idris’s eligibility. The tribunal made deductions of 1,735 votes from the APC and over 900 votes from the PDP’s results. However, these deductions did not impact Idris’s overall election victory, as affirmed by the Supreme Court.
