November 17, 2023 • 1 min read

The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja on Friday, upheld the dismissal of Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and declared Yusuf Gawuna, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the duly elected governor of the state.

In a unanimous judgment delivered by a 3-member panel of the Court of Appeal, Justice Moore Adumein dismissed the appeal filed by the Kano State governor against the judgment of the State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

The tribunal had declared the All Progressive Congress (APC) flagbearer, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, as the winner of the state’s governorship poll held on March 18.

Recall that the Independent National Electronic Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Yusuf as the winner of the March 18, 2023, election, stating that he garnered 1,019,602 votes to defeat Gawuna, who received 890,705 of the votes cast.
