An election petition tribunal sitting in Minna the Niger State capital has upheld the electoral victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) member representing Niger East Senatorial District, Senator Sani Musa, in the March National Assembly election.
The tribunal in its verdict yesterday dismissed the petition filed by his opponent at the poll, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ibrahim Isiyaku, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party at the poll.
Reacting to the development in a statement on Wednesday, Musa described the tribunal’s verdict as a victory for democracy.
