Abba Kabir Yusuf


The Appeal Court,  Abuja on Friday sacked the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf of the NNPP and  declares APC winner of that election.


The Court ruled that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf was not a member of the NNPP as at the time the elections were conducted and is therefore not qualified to contest for the seat, says the tribunal was wrong not to have disqualified him in the first instance,


The court in its ruling declared the candidate of the APC, Nasiru Gawuna, winner of the Kano State governorship election.



In the March 18, 2023 election INEC declared  Abba Kabir Yusuf declared the winner  with 1,019,602 votes, with  Nasiru Gawuna’s 890,705 votes trailing behind.  The APC challenged the outcome of the election at  the Tribunal, alleging electoral malpractice.
