Yusuf, who contested under the NNPP was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) but the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenged his victory in court.
Ruling, Justice Okoro said “There is merit in this appeal. And the appeal is hereby allowed. The appellant won majority of lawful votes.
“The judgement of the lower Court voiding the election of the Appellant is hereby set aside”.
