What the case is about
PDP candidate Mohammed Goni challenged Shettima's April 2011 governorship win; the tribunal upheld Shettima's election, but the Court of Appeal ordered a full retrial of the petition.
Ruling & compliance
The Supreme Court, in a judgment by Justice Walter Onnoghen, held that the Court of Appeal erred in ordering a retrial as doing so created a jurisdiction the law did not provide for, effectively affirming Shettima's election.
