Two APC candidates contested for the seat.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday nullified the election of a member of the House of Representatives, Abdulkadir Modibbo.

But the Supreme Court quashed it, and upheld an earlier decision of a federal high court which handed victory to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.The top court faulted the decision by the Court of Appeal which had ceded the office to another candidate of the APC, Mustapha Usman. The applicants also provided documents indicating that Mr Modibbo falsified some information submitted to INEC ahead of his election.

The court decided that the candidate with the next highest number during the main election should be made the winner.
