Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, has applauded the Court of Appeal’s verdict affirming the judgement of the Kaduna State Election Tribunal which upheld his victory as the winner of the 2023 gubernatorial election in Kaduna State and dismissed the petition against him.
He described the verdict as a “testament to the strength of our legal institutions, a win for democracy and a validation of the people’s will.”
While expressing joy and gratitude at the confirmation of his victory by the court, the governor also extended a hand of fellowship to all opposing sides in a bid to move Kaduna State forward in tandem with the #SUSTAINKaduna agenda.
“Today, I received the news of the Appeal Court verdict. I acknowledge and appreciate the diligence and thoroughness of the Kaduna State Elections Petition Tribunal and the Appeal Court for arriving at this verdict today.
“I have always remained confident in our judicial process. It is now time to peacefully move forward and continue to work assiduously for the people of Kaduna without distractions as the task ahead of us is huge.
“The deputy governor, Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe and my humble self appreciate the All Progressives Congress’ family and the good people of Kaduna for their unflinching support during this entire process,” he said.
Governor Sani’s reaction was contained in a statement by his chief press secretary, Muhammad Lawal Shehu shortly after the Appeal Court ruling on Friday.
