 Consequently the  Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been ordered to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Joshua Audu Gana of the PDP.

 Joshua Gana was declared winner of the February 25  National Assembly election to represent Edati, Lavun and Mokwa federal constituency after defeating Usman Abdullahi Gbatamagi of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

 Gbatamagi now the chief of staff to the governor of Niger State approached the tribunal requesting that he should be returned as the rightful winner of the election.

Justice Mohammed Rashid  delivering the judgement said the tribunal after painstakingly reviewing all the evidences, exhibits and witnesses that testified the tribunal  submitted that all the evidences tendered before the tribunal were convincing enough.
