The election of Abba Yusuf as Kano state governor as been certified by the Supreme Court
A five-member panel of the apex court held that the tribunal and the court of appeal erred by sacking Yusuf, candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), as governor of the state.
Yusuf was sacked in September by the Kano state governorship election petition tribunal as governor of the state.
The tribunal deducted 165,663 votes from the 1,019,602 recorded for Yusuf because the ballot papers were not stamped, signed and dated as required by law.
The court declared Yusuf Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the vote.
The court of appeal on November17, also upheld the tribunal’s verdict and added that Yusuf was not a member of the NNPP when he contested the election.
