BREAKING: Appeal Court Sacks Kano Governor Abba Yusuf, Declares APC’s Gawuna as Winner

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State.

A three-member panel of the court held that the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) breached the constitution by sponsoring Yusuf who was not a member of the party.

The panel upheld the judgement delivered by the tribunal which sacked Yusuf on September 20.

However, the APC approached the Tribunal, citing alleged electoral malpractice.

The tribunal had declared 165,663 votes of Yusuf, who contested under the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), invalid on the grounds that they were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The governor’s votes were then reduced to 853,939 while those of Nasir Ganuwa, his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, remained at 890,705.

INEC had announced Yusuf winner of the March 18, 2023 election, after he garnered 1,019,602 votes to defeat Gawuna who got 890,705 of the votes cast.

  1. We are waiting for the last judgement after there own. There is another one which each everyone will collect from Allah.

  2. Nigerian judiciary with it’s sentmental manner of passing judgments. Always cause chaos amongst Nigerians making most citizens to completely lost trust on them. So pathetic if this three members panel sacks the elected Kano state governor Abba Yusuf on the ground that he was sponsored by a different party,in order to pave way for APC. Nigerian judicial system is so corrupt.

    1. This is lie APC leaders just are are using their power to make sure that NNPP most go down and fail in this Judge. So Allah subhanahu wata’ala waiting all of us real and trusted judgment in the day of day judgement.

    2. All this sentimental support is what is killing the system. He didn’t contested through the right channel, and he was disqualified.. simple. Stop defending the wrongs.

    1. Untill Nigerians realize that the judiciary is no more an independent arm of the government.
      Untill Nigerians realize that justices are no longer obtainable in Nigerian courts.
      Untill we realize that the judiciary is now a corrupt organization.
      Untill we realize that a three-man, five-man and/or seven-man panel (in the name of jurists/judges/justices) is improper and can never decide the fate of thousands and millions of voters after they have received monetary gifts from corrupt politicians.
      Untill Nigerians realize all these anomalies in the courts, then we could fight these injustices by holding any biased judge responsible for his/her wrong judgement.
      Our judges are biased and should be dealt with so that they know what they are doing.
      Imagine the type of judgements we are getting, different judgements on same cases of the same magnitude.

  3. Some peope just open their mouth to speak on issue they no nothing about and lack facts to support their claim. If the NNPP candidate was declared winner then democracy is sustained and the judges hailed but now they are villian because he lost. I tire for you guys..

    1. If the NNPP candidate was declared winner then democracy is sustained and the judges hailed but now they are villian because he lost. this isn’t right, people should know how to deal with things at Times

  4. “The tribunal had declared 165,663 votes of Yusuf, who contested under the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), invalid on the grounds that they were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)”. Why were they not signed, contrary to the electoral law. He has himself to blame

    1. The issue is involid. How come did they get balot papers ? Up till 165 thousand plus which was not validated by INCE that means they stoled ballots because they too desperated to Rule & Allah have not him mandate. Me should all know that no one can force Allah. So Abba Yusuf should wait for the time Allah give not other way round.
      I am wishing Abba BEST OF LUCK long life & prosperity.
      For Gawna, May Almighty Allah bless him & may Almighty guide him in his adminstration . May Allah bless Kano State in aboundance with all it people may we all live in peace harmoney finally wishing Rabiu Kwankwoso, all the best & God blessing. Kano his will never complete without him so we thank Allah for giving him to us

    2. Court of appeal did not sacked him because of ballots without stamps, they sacked him because he’s not a registered member of NNPP. And court are not in any case have a say for that only the party is to decide.

  5. This is too bad
    We Kano citizens are not happy of this sentiment,
    And we will not regard Gawuna as our governor. YES

  6. The only way out is violent revolution. If you think there is another way out to rescue this country from this criminals you must be a big f00l. The presidential election tribunal and supreme Court has set a new template that will outlive all the current judges and political class except if the inevitable happens.

  7. This is lie APC leaders just are are using their power to make sure that NNPP most go down and fail in this Judge. So Allah subhanahu wata’ala waiting all of us, for real and trusted judges in the day of day judgement.

  8. The votes introduced by NNPP to rig election has now witch Hunt the senders. Annoyed NNPP members revealed the secret to APC!

  9. It’s Not True Idont Think
    APC Use the Government power
    To Make A Nigerian people to be Corrupted
    They are doing what they want
    That is why if people are bad the leaders is the most bad may Almighty Allah Reward him with Better thing

  10. This is selfness in obviously and unjustified with restrictions of the court right now we are citizen have chance to against any kind judge with unjustice

  11. It’s better we operate a nation without judiciary because all they have shown to Nigerians is that they are the most corrupt arm of government in Nigeria.

  12. Do what ever you want, one day one day you either leave power or you will die,
    The Power Allah is the only Power

  13. ! When PDP won in Osun, all these people who are saying APC is using power or Judiciary is not right celebrated it but now that it goes to the side of APC, then the Judiciary and APC are spoiling Nigeria!!!

    Let me also remind you of Bayesa which APC won but given to PDP because of mistakes in names from the winner’s deputy . You did say APC or Judiciary did anything wrong then.

    Let’s stop thinking that Judiciary will do what we want to our enemies. Judiciary is not a friend or enemy of any.

  14. Nothing to be digested.Do u think is easy to unseat an incumbent governor or a political party?If at all there was a manipulation, it should be the APC .So in this judgement passed,are u saying that the APC Candidate election was a free and fair,no manipulation?I beg leave matter

  15. We are tired of this demoncracy . Getting worse as each regime passes. Somebody should please tell me what Nigerians have gained since the nation returned to demoncracy. Khakhi boys you are the last hope of the crying suffering dying masses. Even Abacha regime was far far better than the best democrratic regime.

  16. If Only APC can do the right thing in election rigging in this evil country. I’m afraid of the way forward. Shame to the Judiciary

  17. If you need a true just do a true, the judgement make a true.
    Up Up Gawuna & Garo kanawa
    G & G
    Is the best choice In Kano ,

  18. we are Kano state citizens, we totally need justice for this centiment. As we already know a free and dynamic society we need, but remember the day when every judges where be judges from the master of the day of judgement.

  19. While in Imo State, INEC voted APC by themselves even an evidence that there is no vote. BVAS machine even captured what is less from IREv. What shame country!!!

  20. Hi guys let’s us restrain using foul language on each other. The politician are the same either Apc ,Pdp ,Nnpp or others.Let the supreme court decide the true winner. Love u all my 9ja people.

  21. The main reason Mr President brought Gaduje as the National Party Chairman is for him to Deliver APC Kano state Chapter in Court after that, the president will remove him and take the chairmanships back to North Central.

    Is good this way Almighty will see those that have true vote through.

  23. Serious I am so much happy for the outcome of the appeal court result, but that doesnt mean that i hate Abba kabir no its not like that Wallahi, is just only that I love Ganduje more than Kwankwaso. In my heart I really hold to the fact that Abba kabir is a good man but he is fully under the monitorship of kwankwaso and we are in need of person who’s master cannot be intervening in his administration. I have a firm believe that Ganduje is that type of boss Kano and Nigeria are in dare need of
