BREAKING: Tribunal Sacks Kano Governor, Declares APC Winner
The Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Kano has ordered the withdrawal of certificate of return to Govenor Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and directed that a certificate of return to be issued to the APC governorship candidate, Nasiru Gawuna.
The tribunal gave the final judgement after cancelling some votes recorded by the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, candidate and Kano Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadabey said the margin of votes scored by the NNPP was not enough to give Governor Yusuf victory.
It said some of the votes credited to Yusus were invalid.
The court deducted 165,663 votes from total votes scored by Governor Yusuf on the grounds that the ballot papers (165,663) were not stamped or signed and were therefore declared invalid.
