Accept Supreme Court Verdict In Good Faith – Shekarau Tells NNPP, APC

Meanwhile, a former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, has called upon the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to respectfully accept the Supreme Court’s forthcoming verdict.

Shekarau made this appeal during an interview on Channels TV’s program “Politics Today.”

The former Governor emphasized his belief in the judicial process, underscoring that no amount of abuse, hatred, or hate speech can influence the granting or denial of political power.

His statement comes against the backdrop of the ongoing legal tussle between Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the NNPP and the APC’s candidate, Yusuf Gawuna, following the contentious governorship election in March of the previous year.

Both the Tribunal and the Appeal Court have previously ruled against Governor Yusuf, leading to his current appeal at the Supreme Court.

The legal battle has been closely watched, as it is pivotal in determining the political leadership of Kano State.

Shekarau’s call for the acceptance of the Supreme Court’s decision is a plea for political stability and respect for the rule of law.
