The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the appeal pertaining to the Kano State gubernatorial election
Following the hearing from the parties involved, a five-member panel of judges led by Justice Inyang Okoro on Thursday, December 21, reserved their decision.
Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf and the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP) have filed an appeal against the Court of Appeal’s November 17 ruling, which declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Yusuf Gawuna as the winner of March 26, gubernatorial election in the state.
The party also told Supreme Court that there were inconsistencies in the CTC ruling that invalidated the governor’s election and granted him N1 million in damages.
The appeal of All Progressives Congress member Nasir Yusuf Gawuna was sustained by a three-judge bench presided over by Justice Moore A. Adumein. (APC).
The tribunal determined that Yusuf, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), lacked party registration and, as a result, was unable to run for office.
However, parties disputed the court’s authority over a candidate’s political party membership during the lengthy hearing before the supreme court on Thursday.
