The New Nigerian Peoples’ Party (NNPP) is to appeal the judgment of the Kano governorship election petition tribunal that sacked Abba Yusuf as governor.
Bashir Yusuf Muhammad, counsel to the NNPP, disclosed this in an interview with journalists shortly after the tribunal delivered its judgement on Wednesday via Zoom.
The tribunal declared Nasiru Gawuna of the APC winner of the March 18 governorship election in Kano state.
Muhammad said, “The tribunal has delivered its own judgment, we are going to consult our clients and I can assure you that we are going to appeal against this judgment.
“Because it is a judgment which we felt does not manifest the justice of the matter and I can assure you this decision will be set aside on appeal.
“It is not a new thing if you look at the decision that has been taken by the Tribunal in Osun state is almost the same as this one.
“That the tribunal without evidence can go and look at the document that was tendered before it.
“I can assure you this judgment will not see the light of the day in the Court of Appeal by God’s grace”.
