The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the elections of opposition parties governors.
A statement by Atiku Abubakar media office described the court’s judgment as a win for democracy, while congratulating the four governors on the Supreme Court verdicts affirming their elections.
He said the decision of the court is good news to the people of Bauchi, Plateau, Kano and Zamfara states.

His words:“The PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 election also congratulated the Governor of Kano State, Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, reaffirming his position that only a united opposition force can strengthen democracy in Nigeria. I am as prepared as ever, to lead the charge, alongside all our leaders and Governors, for the good of our country.
“Where justice is seen to have been substantially rendered, we, as patriots and citizens, will always applaud.
“There is a guaranteed continuation of the standards of good governance which the PDP has brought to the respective states.”
