The court also ordered that Sadiq Wali, who was earlier recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission

(INEC), remains the valid governorship candidate.

Justice Usman Musale, who delivered the anonymous judgement with three-man panel, held that Abachi had no locus standi to challenge the primary that produced Wali since he never participated in the primary election.
