Ganduje Reacts To Appeal Court Judgement Sacking Kano Governor, Reveals What Will Happen Next

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, expressed no apprehension about facing the ousted governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, and his New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) at the Supreme Court following the APC’s victory affirmed by the Court of Appeal on Friday.

Ganduje, the immediate past governor of Kano, commended the judiciary for meeting expectations. His commendation followed the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold Nasiru Gawuna, the APC candidate, as the winner of the Kano governorship election.

In delivering the judgment on Friday, the three-member panel led by Justice M.A Adumeh ruled that Yusuf was ineligible to contest the election, citing his absence from the membership register of his political party.

Speaking to reporters at his Asokoro residence, Ganduje acknowledged the NNPP for initiating legal proceedings, and while appreciating them, he confidently asserted that the APC would confront the legal challenge with determination at the apex court, especially after the Court of Appeal dismissed their case.

He said, “I thank Allah for this important judgment. We have to thank the judiciary for providing a good administration of justice despite all the distractions that have taken place since the beginning of the case. There is no doubt this is a victory for democracy. It is a victory for APC and a victory for Kano State. “This is an indication that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria. Democracy we can say is matured in Nigeria. We have to thank all those stakeholders even the political parties, even the NNPP that took us to the Appeal Court.

“There is no doubt that after the election you get to litigation. And the end is always determined by the judiciary. For Kano State, this victory is for all of us. We are fully aware of what happened during the election.

“A lot of malpractices took place and we took the issue to the tribunal. And by the grace of God, we got a fair judgment in favour of our great party, the APC. Now the government in power, the NNPP decided to go to the Court of Appeal, and this morning,  the Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment of the lower court.

“By so doing, our gubernatorial candidate Dr. Nasiru Gawuna is the duly elected Governor of Kano State. But in all, probably they will go to the Supreme Court which is part of democracy. There is nothing wrong for them to go to the Supreme Court. We too, are ready to meet them in the Supreme Court. And Inshallah, we will win in the Supreme Court as well.

“But, we want to assure the people of Kano State that the good administration that was provided in my eight years of administration was my deputy Dr. Nasiru Gawuna and now, the Governor-elect for Kano state will provide a similar not even similar. I believe he will provide a better administration more achievements will be recorded in Kano State. Because that is what we expect.”

“Whoever goes to the court like this and is given judgment in his favour definitely will feel very happy and grateful to Allah for the Court of Appeal to affirm his victory.

“I am so happy. I am also still deep in my thoughts because I have to sit down and think very well. But because of the confidence and expectations of the people in us, Insha Allahu we are praying that we will not fail our people,” he stated.
