Judicial Court Delays Decision on Kano Governor’s Appeal
In response to his impeachment by the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, petitioned for a stay of action at the Appeal Court in Abuja.
On September 20, Yusuf’s 165,663 votes were deemed unlawful by the tribunal, resulting in the invalidation of his electoral victory.
The board concluded that the Independent National Electoral Commission had not authorized or tagged the ballots, consequently declaring Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress as the governorship race’s victor.
Dissatisfied with the outcome, Yusuf contested the tribunal’s verdict and requested the court to reverse the decision.
