APC Counsel Explains Why Kano Tribunal Judgment Favoured Them (Video)
The counsel of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has explained why the party got favoured in the just concluded Kano election tribunal.
The election tribunal had sacked the incumbent governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf and declared APC’s Nasiru Gawuna as the duly elected candidate.
Yusuf, who contested on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the poll in March.
But on Wednesday, the three-man panel, after hearing the petitions, ordered the withdrawal of the certificate of return which INEC presented to Yusuf and directed a certificate of return to be issued to Gawuna.
The court deducted 165,663 votes from Yusuf’s total as invalid votes, stating that the affected ballot papers were not stamped or signed and therefore declared invalid.
According to the counsel, they presented over 160,000 invalid ballot papers used in the election and it is on this basis that the court declared Gawuna winner.
