The judgement which NNPP and NAGAFF members had anxiously waited for since last year finally put smile in the faces of maritime stakeholders. Adding that he hoped that the good people of Kano State would now be given the opportunity to enjoy the dividends of democracy which made them to vote enmass for Gov. Abba Yusuf and the NNPP at the poll.
Ezisi congratulated the governor, Mr. Abba Yusuf and the people of Kano State as well as the Founder of the party, Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam.
While delivering judgement on Friday, the chairman of the Supreme Court Panel responsible for electoral matters, Justice John Okoro returned Mr. Yusuf’s 165,616 votes, which the lower tribunal invalidated and deducted from the votes cast in his favour. This action automatically gave Mr. Yusuf the unassailable lead that granted him victory.
Before now, NNPP and NAGAFF had embarked on nationwide prayer asking God Almighty to give the Judges the courage to deliver the right judgement which obviously is expected to be in favour of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
