The Supreme Court has been urged to reverse the February 10 judgment by the Court of Appeal in Kano, voiding the nomination of Mohammed Sani Abacha as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State.
The apex court is also urged to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reinstate Abacha as the actual candidate of the PDP in Kano for the next governorship election.
These requests form part of the reliefs being sought in two notices of appeal filed before the Supreme Court by Mohammed Abacha, the eldest surviving son of the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
In two notices of appeal filed by his lawyer, Dr. Reuben Atabo (SAN), Abacha argued that the Court of Appeal, Kano, erred in law when it set aside an earlier judgment of the Federal High Court, Kano which recognised him as the actual candidate of the PDP in the state.
