Mr Sharada said he is challenging the ruling before the court of appeal.

Reacting to the judgment, Mr Yakasai expressed joy that justice has finally been done by confirming him as the duly elected candidate of the APC.

Mr Yakasai  who was recently sworn-in as commissioner in the administration of Mr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje added that he is ready to face all challenges to actualize his mandate.
