Kano tribunal deducts 165,663 votes from NNPP’s Abba Yusuf, declares APC’s Gawuna winner of governorship election
The Kano governorship election petitions tribunal in Kano has nullified the victory of Governor Abba Yusuf of the All Nigerian People’s Party and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress winner of the election that was held in the state in March 2023.
The tribunal panel, led by Justice Oluyemi Akintan-Osadebay, said Mr Gawuna won the March 18 exercise after deducting 165,663 votes from NNPP’s figures.
The APC had in its suit challenged the victory of Mr Yusuf, after the electoral office INEC declared him the winner.
In an unprecedented move, the court announced its decision via Zoom on Wednesday, with lawyers and journalists left outside the courtroom.
