Kano Guber: Why I Accepted Supreme Court Verdict – APC Candidate, Gawuna
POLITICS DIGEST – The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna said he has accepted the Supreme Court judgment verdict on the governorship election in the state as God’s decision.
Gawuna stated this during an interview with BBC Hausa on Saturday.
Recall that Gawuna and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) had been crossed in stiff legal battle after the March 2023 governorship election.
But, the Supreme Court affirmed Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the NNPP as the duly elected governor of Kano State.
The tribunal and Appeal Court had sacked Abba as the governor of the state, citing malpractices, but the Supreme Court on Friday upturned the lower courts’ rulings.
Gawuna said that the Supreme Court judgment is God’s decision, saying he had accepted it in good faith.
He said, “This judgment is God’s decision and we have accepted it. As we prayed that if it is good for us let Him grant us from His bounty and if it is otherwise he would replace it with something better.
“We are very sure that God has answered our prayers. He is All-wise. We are thankful to Allah, the Almighty.
