The Supreme Court in two separate judgments upheld the victory of Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger state and Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso on Kano states both of the Peoples’ Democratic Party PDP.
While delivering the lead judgement in the Niger appeal, Justice Mary Odili held that the appellant failed to take the legal way to show the court that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not produce the materials requested for to be used as evidence.
The court further held that it was not its duty to compel INEC to obey the order adding that the lower courts were right in arriving at their decision.

The apex court later dismissed the appeal for lacking in merit, upholding the decision of the tribunal and court of appeal.
In the Kano judgement the lead judgment which was delivered by Justice Danladi Galadima dismissed the appeal of the ANPP challenging the victory of Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state.

Justice Danladi Galadima who presided over the suit ruled that the appellant failed to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt.
The All Nigerian Peoples Party had approached the court on the basis that there were gross violation of the electoral act 2010 as amended in the election that brought Governor Kwankwaso to power.

However the court agreed with the governor that the onus to prove the allegation is on the appellant, which had failed to prove his allegation.
