Finally, See Date Supreme Court Fixes for Hearing on Kano Guber Appeal…details

The Supreme Court has fixed Thursday 21st of December for hearing over Kano Governorship Election Petition.

This was contained in a notice to both parties by the Apex Court.

It would be recalled that On Nov 17th, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the election petition tribunal, which sacked Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party and declared the APC candidate, Dr Nasiru Gawuna, winner.

The three-member panel of the appeal court dismissed the appeal filed by Governor Yusuf based on his membership status in his party.Confusion, however, ensued on Tuesday, Nov 21 when the CTC of the court judgement which surfaced four days after the judgment had been delivered showed contradictions in the conclusions.
