The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the judiciary for a display of courage and professionalism in delivering judgments on Kano and Zamfara gubernatorial disputes.
MeridianSpy had reported that, appeal court in Abuja upheld the tribunal ruling, sacking Kano state governor, Abba Yusuf and affirming Nasiru Gawuna of APC, as the authentic winner of the 2023 Kano governorship election.
Also, in Zamfara, governor Dauda Lawal was sacked by the appellate court, declared the election inconclusive and order a rerun in three local governments.
APC, through its Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Friday applauded the judiciary, saying that, both judgements underscore the vibrancy and independence of the judiciary, and rekindles confidence that the courts are, and remain, the bastion of hope for justice in any democracy.
While urging the good people of Kano and Zamfara states to remain calm and peaceful, Morka further urged the judiciary to continue to rise above blackmail and intimidation by some self-serving political interests, and continue to give full expression to the tenets of the law, irrespective of the identity or status of parties involved.
See the statement below:
In an epochal judgement earlier today, the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja upheld the decision of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the March 18, 2023 election, affirming the legitimate will of the Kano electorate as expressed at the polls.
This judgement, sacking Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as Governor of Kano State, comes barely 24 hours after the court declared the governorship election of Zamfara State inconclusive and ordered a rerun in three Local Government Areas of the state.
Both judgements underscore the vibrancy and independence of the judiciary, and rekindles confidence that the courts are, and remain, the bastion of hope for justice in any democracy.
As we applaud the judiciary for its courage and professionalism in discharging its important constitutional duties, we urge it to continue to rise above blackmail and intimidation by some self-serving political interests, and continue to give full expression to the tenets of the law, irrespective of the identity or status of parties involved.
We congratulate our victorious members, and urge the good people Kano and Zamfara states to remain calm and peaceful.
