Kano guber: Court reserves judgment in Abba Yusuf’s Appeal against Gawuna

In the appeal filed by Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf contesting his dismissal by the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, the Court of Appeal located in Abuja has fixed it’s judgment date.

The tribunal had declared 165,663 of Yusuf’s votes to be illegal on September 20, therefore nullifying his election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission did not sign or mark the ballot papers, the panel ruled. As such, it proclaimed Nasiru Gawuna, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, the victor of the gubernatorial contest.
