Kano State Governorship Election Tribunal Appeal: APC Nasiru Gawuna Affirmed as Winner And It’s Implication.

Kano State Governorship Election Tribunal Appeal Key Points and It’s Implication.

Gawuna of APC

In a landmark ruling, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, Nigeria, has upheld the judgment of the Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which had nullified the election of Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the duly elected governor of Kano State.

Yusuf of NNPP

The appeal was filed by Yusuf, who had challenged the tribunal’s decision on the grounds that the tribunal had erred in its judgment and that the evidence presented before it was insufficient to justify the nullification of his election.

However, the Court of Appeal dismissed Yusuf’s appeal, ruling that the tribunal had correctly applied the law and that its findings were supported by the evidence. The court also held that Yusuf’s disqualification from the election for not being a registered member of the NNPP was valid.

The judgment of the Court of Appeal is a major setback for Yusuf and the NNPP, and it is likely to have a significant impact on the political landscape in Kano State. Gawuna is now expected to be sworn in as governor of Kano State for a second term.

Key Points from the judgment are;

* The Court of Appeal has upheld the judgment of the Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
* Nasiru Gawuna of the APC has been declared the duly elected governor of Kano State.
* Abba Yusuf of the NNPP has been disqualified from the election for not being a registered member of the party.
