Confusion surrounding the Court of Appeals’ judgment confirming the election of Abba Kabir Yusuf as governor
A certified copy of the Court of Appeal judgment on the Kano State governorship election has confirmed the victory of Abba Kabiru Yusuf, who has been officially elected Governor of Kano State.
As a new fact stated in the judgment, the Court of Appeal set aside the Kano Election Petition Tribunal’s decision as lacking reason.
The evidence contained in page 67 of a copy of the Court of Appeal judgment released on Tuesday night and signed by the Registrar, Jameel Ibrahim Umar, shows that Abba of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as the duly elected governor of Kano State・Supported Kabir Yusuf’s victory.
A three-member panel of the Court of Appeal on Friday, November 17, dismissed the appeal filed by Governor Yusuf on membership grounds.

Kano State Attorney-General and Attorney-General Haruna Dedeli told journalists on Tuesday evening that page 67 of the certified judgment clearly states that the court’s decision to remove Governor Yusuf from office has been set aside. He said there was.
Mr Dedeli claimed that contrary to what the judge read out to the public in court on November 17, the written evidence proved that Mr Yusuf was the legitimate governor of Kano.

The governor could not be allowed to proceed. Second term in 2031.
