WHY KANO ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL SACKED NNPP’S ABBA YUSUF.
The Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on Wednesday sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasiru Gawuna, winner of the March 18 governorship poll.
In the judgement delivered by the three-man panel via zoom, the tribunal deducted 165,663 votes from Yusuf as invalid, stating that the ballot papers (165,663) were not stamped or signed and therefore declared invalid.
It therefore ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdrawal of certificate of return which it presented to Yusuf, and directed that a certificate of return to be issued to Gawuna.
