The Tribunal Judgement For Kano Governorship Election Is Unfair – NNPP

The New Nigeria Peoples Party has come out to say that the judgment of the Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal is a replay script of the 2019 governorship election.

The party’s acting National Chairman, Abba Ali recently revealed this to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is clear that the tribunal overturned the will of the people by awarding election results to those who lost the election, and the reported judgment was wrong to nullify a fair election.

Abba added that the tribunal arrived at this unjust judgment by unfairly subtracting 165,663 votes from the governor’s tally to enable it to award the election result to the candidate of the ruling APC.

His words, “The New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP receives with utter incredulity and disbelief in the judgment of the Kano State Election Petition Tribunal on the March 18, 2023, Governorship election.

The NNPP recalls with regret that this Tribunal has simply replayed the unholy script of 2019 by overturning the will of the people and awarding election results to those who lost the election.

The reported judgment nullified the free, credible, and globally acclaimed fair election of our Governorship Candidate, Engr Abba Kabir Yusuf, brazenly awarded the election to the APC Candidate, Nasiru Gawuna.

The Tribunal arrived at this unjust judgment by unfairly subtracting 165,663 votes from the governor’s tally to enable it to award the election result to the candidate of the ruling APC. In doing so the tribunal affirms its belief that the vote tally of the APC Candidate was sacrosanct.

The Judgement of the 3-man Kano State Governorship Election is laughable and nothing but a pure miscarriage of justice. The decision of the tribunal is a slap on the face of Constitutionalism and the rule of law and is capable of further discouraging the electorate from having confidence in the judiciary. The NNPP will appeal this most unfair judgment.”
