2023 Kano Guber Election Outcome: ‘Suspense’ Continues As Supreme Court Reserves Judgment

Judgment has been reserved at the  Supreme Court , Abuja in respect of the appeal  filed by Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano state.

 The election case  that began a few months ago,   has  to do with the outcome of the gubernatorial election held in  the North west state on March 18, 2023.

.Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the  five-member panel of justices  of the apex court headed  by Justice Inyang Okoro reserved judgment  on Thursday

Recall that the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ,  had through the Returning Officer, Professor Ahmad Doko Ibrahim ,  declared Governor Abba Yusuf, who was the   Kano state NNPP  governorship candidate ,  winner of the  2023 gubernatorial election.

 Yusuf  got 1,019,602 votes while his main rival, the APC candidate , Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna had  890,705 votes.

Recall  also that  the Kano state Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had looked into the petition filed by the APC  guber candidate ,  Alhaji Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna  and  in the ruling delivered virtually by Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadabey on September 20, annulled Governor Abba Yusuf’s victory.

The three-member panel  had also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return earlier issued and presented to Governor Yusuf and issue a fresh one in favour of Gawuna.

The Court of Appeal , Abuja had also later  upheld the decision of the election petition tribunal while the release of the  certified true copy (CTC)  of the ruling had however given birth to controversy-Team@orientactualmags.com
