Residents trooped out to almost all streets in Sokoto metropolis
\ncelebrating the affirmation of Aminu Tambuwal, as the duly elected
\ngovernor of Sokoto state by the Supreme Court on Monday.<\/p>\n
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) observed that the crowd, mostly youth
\ntrooped to the streets chanting songs in favour of Peoples Democratic
\nParty (PDP) and Tambuwal.<\/p>\n
Some of the crowded streets include Fodio road, Runjin Sambo, Usmanu
\nDanfodiyo University road, Old market, Gobirawa, Rijiya among others.<\/p>\n
NAN recalls that the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship
\ncandidate, Alhaji Ahmad Aliyu, had, on Dec. 4, 2019, appealed the
\njudgment of both the election petition tribunal and the Appeal Court at
\nthe Supreme Court for upholding Tambuwal\u2019s election.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court on Monday in Abuja, however, upheld the election of
\nTambuwal as a duly elected governor of the state and dismissed the
\nappeal by APC and Aliyu for lacking in merit.<\/p>\n
One of the youth Aliyu Usman who spoke with NAN, thanked Almighty Allah
\nfor the governor\u2019s success at the Apex Court.<\/p>\n
Usman said that the jubilation was to show gratitude to God over the
\nvictory of Tambuwal, insisting that the apex court\u2019s decision was \u201can
\naffirmation of the real mandate of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
