The Appeal Court in Abuja upheld the decision of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, affirming Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 18, 2023 election in Kano. The APC praises the judiciary for its courage and professionalism in discharging constitutional duties and urges it to remain independent and resilient against any blackmail or intimidation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a press statement by Felix Morka, Esq. National Publicity Secretary All Progressives Congress (APC), the judgment, which nullified Abba Kabi Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as the Governor of Kano State, reinforces the vibrancy and independence of the judiciary. It comes within 24 hours of another judgment declaring the governorship election in Zamfara State inconclusive and ordering a rerun in three Local Government Areas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The APC emphasizes the courts as the bastion of hope for justice in a democracy and calls for continued adherence to the tenets of the law, irrespective of the identities or statuses of parties involved. The party congratulates its victorious members and urges the people of Kano and Zamfara states to remain calm and peaceful.<\/p>\n
