JUST IN!!! Supreme Court Reinstates Kano Governor, Abba Yusuff
The Supreme Court has overruled lower courts decisions sacking the Kano state Governor, Yusuff Abba.
The tribunal had sacked Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party victory after declaring 165,663 of his votes invalid. The tribunal held that the deducted votes were from ballot papers that were neither stamped nor signed.
He then approached the appeal court for reparation. The appeal court upheld the tribunal’s decision and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress winner of the election.
On getting to the supreme court, Justice John Okoro ordered that all the ballot papers from which the appellant votes were deducted should be restored to the governor.
He revealed that all papers contain the logo of INEC and the coat of arms as prescribed by the provisions of the Electoral Act
