Mohammed Abacha
An Appeal Court in Kano has sacked Mohammed Abacha as the Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate in Kano.
The court on Friday set aside the judgment of a High Court that recognized Abacha as the PDP flag bearer in the state.
The court also ordered that Sadiq Wali, who was earlier recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission, remains the valid candidate.
Delivering the anonymous judgement, Justice Usman Musale-led three-man panel held that Abachi had no locus standi to challenge the primary that produced Wali since he never participated in the primary election.
