The judgment, which was delivered on zoom, restrained Sadiq Wali to stop parading himself as the governorship candidate of the PDP in Kano.
However, Atiku and the national working committee of the PDP recognised Wali as the governorship candidate of the party in Kano.

The judge ruled that the votes cast for Abacha during the primary conducted by the Sagagi-led factional chairman of the PDP in the state remained lawful.
