In a dramatic turn of events, the Supreme Court has delivered its verdict, reinstating Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as the rightful winner of the Kano State governorship election held on March 18. CoNTINUE READING
The unanimous decision by a five-member panel of Justices on Friday overturned the earlier judgements of the Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal and the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which had removed Governor Yusuf and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as the winner.
Justice Inyang Okoro, delivering the lead judgement, declared that the lower courts had erred in deducting valid votes credited to Governor Yusuf by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The Supreme Court held that the 165,663 votes deducted from Yusuf and the NNPP, on the grounds that ballot papers lacked signatures, stamps, or dates, were indeed valid.
Contrary to the lower courts’ decision, the Supreme Court confirmed that 146,292 of the ballot papers were signed and stamped, though lacking a date. The court emphasized that, according to section 63(1) of the Electoral Act 2022, ballot papers bearing the official mark and issued by INEC were not entirely invalid.
Additionally, the court dismissed the lower courts’ nullification of Yusuf’s election based on the claim that he was not a member of the NNPP. It asserted that the sponsorship of a candidate in an election falls within the domestic affairs of a political party, emphasizing that Yusuf won the governorship election with the majority of lawful votes and was duly nominated by his political party.
The Supreme Court’s decision, restoring Governor Abba Yusuf to his position, has left the public amused and intrigued by the twists and turns of the legal proceedings. As tension lingers in Kano, the unexpected outcome has indeed provided a dose of humor, leaving many in stitches over the unpredictable nature of the political landscape.
