Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has on Thursday, August set aside the judgment of the FCT High Court which invalidated the Kano state ward and local government congresses.
The Appeal Court held that the lower Court lacks jurisdiction.
The Senator Ibrahim Shekarau faction had headed to the FCT High Court after the congresses of the APC in Kano and the court upheld the group’s held congresses as against that of the governor Ganduje’s side.
Dissatisfied with the High Court's rulings, Ganduje’s group rushed to the Appeal Court to contest the ruling.
The appellate Court also held that the case was not a pre-election matter but an internal matter of the ruling party, therefore should be decided by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
