Gov. Abba Heads to Supreme Court After Losing Appeal
By Ozumi Abdul
Barely 24 hours after the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja pronounced the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Nasir Gawuna, as the rightful winner of the March governorship election in Kano, Governor Yusuf Kabir Abba has said he will challenge the appellate court judgement at the Supreme Court.
This was made known in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Sanusi Bature Tofa-Dawaki, on Saturday.
According to the spokesman, the governor described the judgement as a miscarriage of justice.

“I want to inform the good people of Kano and indeed well meaning Nigerians that based on the consensus of our stakeholders, we have instructed our lawyers to commence the process of appealing this judgement at the Supreme court of Nigeria,” the statement read.
Governor Abba used the opportunity to call on people of the state to continue to go about their legitimate businesses as government has taken all necessary measures to ensure the security of lives and property.
He assured that the temporary setback will not deter his administration from its commitment to continue with laudable projects and programmes targeted at restoring the lost glory of the state.
He vowed that he will instead roll out more initiatives to deliver dividends of democracy to the citizens and residents of the state.
