Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State is taking his case to the Supreme Court to challenge the verdict of the Appeal Court, which had earlier removed him from office. The Appeal Court had ruled against Yusuf, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), citing his ineligibility to contest, and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the rightful winner of the governorship election in the state.
The aftermath of the Appeal Court's decision has been marked by uncertainty and confusion, particularly regarding the judgment that ousted Yusuf. The court has directed concerned lawyers to return certified true copies of its judgment for necessary corrections.
The basis of the Appeal Court's ruling was the determination that Yusuf was not a member of the NNPP during the election. However, the certified true copies of the judgment have added to the perplexity, as they seemingly suggest the court upheld Yusuf's victory. The discrepancies in the documents have contributed to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the legal proceedings and the political landscape in Kano State.
