A certified copy of the Appeal Court judgement on Kano State
Governorship election has affirmed the victory of Abba Yusuf as the duly
elected Governor.
As indicated in the written judgement, the Court of Appeal
set aside the judgement of the Kano election petition tribunal for lacking in
merit.
In the evidence contained in page 67 of the copy of the
Appeal Court judgement released on Tuesday, signed by the registrar, Mr Jameel
Ibrahim Umar, the appellate court upheld the victory of Abba Kabiru Yusuf of
the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP.
Recall that the three-member panel of the Appeal Court, on
Friday, November 17, 2023, dismissed the appeal filed by Governor Yusuf on the
basis of his membership status.
The appellate court subsequently affirmed Nasiru Yusuf
Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as winner of March 25, 2023,
governorship poll in Kano.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday evening, the Kano State
Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Dederi said page 67 of
the certified copy of the judgement clearly indicated that the tribunal’s
ruling that sacked Governor Yusuf was set aside.
Barrister Dederi insisted that contrary to what the judges read to the public in the courtroom on 17th November, the written evidence has vindicated Yusuf as the legitimate Governor of Kano State.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to Nigeria.. my confusion
ReplyDeleteWhen God wants to confuse the wisdom of the wise, he does not ask where will he start. The 3-man panel of justices wants to use their dry brain to thwart the mandate of the people, but they are getting a hold back now. Where then do we go from here?
