The Supreme Court has reserved its judgement on the appeal that Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State filed to upturn the nullification of his election.
A five-member panel of the court, led by Justice Inyang Okoro reserved the judgement after all the parties adopted their briefs of argument.
Recall the Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal had in a virtual judgement sacked governor Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, from office and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All-Progressive Congress, APC, as the valid winner of the governorship poll that held in the state on March 18.
The tribunal ruling was upheld by the appeal Court on the premise that 165,663 of the votes that were credited to the NNPP candidate were invalid.
