Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist, has said the
judiciary is on the path of destroying Nigeria’s democracy.
Yesufu was reacting to the Appeal Court ruling that sacked
Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Recall that a three-man panel of judges led by Justice
Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay had nullified the election of Yusuf.
The court declared the 165,663 votes of Yusuf invalid.
The appellate court said the votes were invalid because they
were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
Votes garnered by the governor who contested under the
platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, were then reduced to 853,939,
while those of Nasir Ganuwa of the All Progressives Congress, APC remained at
890,705.
The Kano State Governorship Election Petition Court then
nullified the election of Yusuf, while declaring the All Progressives Congress,
APC, governorship candidate, Gawuna the true winner of the March 18 election.
Reacting, Yesufu posted on X: “The judiciary is really on
the path to destroy democracy completely in Nigeria.
“In 2019 Kano people rejected APC yet rigged magic was done
and now this again.
“When you take away the legitimate will of the people you
open room for the illegitimate will to be exercised.
