Abba Kabir Yusuf, the governor of Kano, has rejected the ruling of the Court of Appeal, which affirmed the state election petition tribunal’s decision to nullify his election on Friday in Abuja.
In an attempt to keep his position, Yusuf and his party, the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), disputed this ruling and vowed to appeal the matter all the way to the Supreme Court.
“After careful study and rigorous stakeholders engagement, my team and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have decided to approach the Supreme Court on the miscarriage of justice, delivered by the Appeal Court, yesterday in Abuja,” said Yusuf in a post on his X page announcing the decision.
“We are optimistic that the Supreme Court will by the grace of Allahu SWT, will set aside these miscarriages of justice by the Tribunal and the Appeal Court, and reaffirm our mandate, as given by the good people of Kano State.

“Furthermore, I call on the good people of the Kano State to continue to go about their legitimate businesses, as we have taken all the necessary measures to ensure the security of thier lives and property as a cardinal responsibility.
“Finally, I call on the good people of the state and other well-meaning Nigerians to continue to pray for Allah’s mercy and protection to save the state from the injustice of mischief makers, who are desperately scheming to hijack power through the back door and return the state to the dark ages.”
