Aliyu-Wadada polled 96,488 votes to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Shehu Tukur, who scored 47,717 votes, and others in the election.
He stressed that INEC violated the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022, and the 1999 Constitution with the omission of the NNPP logo.
He, therefore, urged the tribunal to nullify the election.
