Kano APC Announces Next Move After Supreme Court Judgment

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has decided to move on following the final verdict of the Supreme Court over the last governorship election in the state.

Naija News reported last week that the Supreme Court, in a  lead judgement read by Justice Inyang Okoro, overturned the court of appeal’s decision that had upheld the judgment of the Kano State governorship election petition tribunal, which removed Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf from office.

The tribunal had declared Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna as the winner of the election.

To address the aftermath of the judgment and foster unity among members, the APC stakeholders convened in Abuja.

In a communique signed by the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Alhassan Ado Doguwa, and the Chief of Staff to the APC National Chairman, Muhammad Garba, the party expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering support and dedication to the progress and development of the party in Kano State and the country as a whole.
