The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state.
It will be recalled that the Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal earlier sacked Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on September 20, 2023 and declared Nasiru Nawuna of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as winner.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Yusuf of the NNPP the winner of March 18, 2023 election with 1,019,602 votes, surpassing Nasiru Gawuna’s 890,705.
But on Friday November 17, the Court of Appeal, Abuja upheld the decision of the Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that sacked Governor Yusuf.
