BREAKING: Tribunal Sacks Gov Yusuf Abba, Declares Gawuna Of APC Winner

The Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, on Wednesday, sacked the state governor, Yusuf Abba, of the New Nigeria People’s Party and declared the All Progressives Congress candidate, Nasir Gawuna, winner of the March 18 governorship poll.

Tribunal deducted 165,663 votes from Abba Yusuf’s total as invalid votes, stating that the affected ballot papers were not stamped or signed and therefore declared invalid.

The result declared by Tribunal:
Gawuna 890,705 votes.
Abba 853, 939 Votes

It further withdrew the Certificate of Return presented to Yusuf by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

INEC had declared that Yusuf polled 1,019,602 votes to defeat Gawuna, who scored 890,705 votes.
