The Supreme Court has confirmed Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, a member of the APC, as the duly elected Governor of Gombe State.
Today, a five-member panel at the apex court rejected the appeal made by Jibrin Mohammed Barde, the former PDP candidate in the last gubernatorial election in the state.
Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun who delivered the lead judgment, explained that the appellants failed to prove that the decisions of both the election tribunal and the Court of Appeal were flawed.
Addressing all the concerns raised in the appeal, Justice Kekere-Ekun concluded that the appellants’ case lacked merit and consequently dismissed it.
