The Presiding Judge Hon. Justice Zaynab Mohammed held that Kutigi has no cause of action and therefore dismissed the case against the plaintiff  Kantigi who remains the PDP candidate for the 2023 general elections in Niger State.

It could be recalled that after the party’s primary election in the state, the complainant headed to court seeking the disqualification of the winner.
