In a significant turn of events, the Supreme Court has reversed the removal of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, declaring the decisions of both the Court of Appeal Abuja and Kano State Tribunal invalid.
The lead judgment, delivered by the Supreme Court, asserts that the Court of Appeal erred in affirming the tribunal’s decision, which previously ruled that Yusuf did not secure the majority of lawful votes in the Governorship Election.
This development marks a pivotal moment in Kano’s political landscape as the Supreme Court’s decision sees the state shifting allegiance to the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). The reversal by the Apex Court is expected to have far-reaching implications on the political dynamics and governance in Kano State.
