The Supreme Court on Friday voided the Elected of Candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) into Various Elective Positions in the State.
In the lead judgment by Justice Paul Adamu Galinji, the apex court held that all votes cast for the APC as “wasted votes” and declared that all political parties with the second highest votes in the elections and the required spread, are elected to the various elections. The panel also awarded cost of N10m against APC in favour of the Kabiru Marafa faction of the APC and other respondents in the appeal.
The justices sounded a note of warning to politicians against destroying the country’s democracy.
