The Abuja-based Court of Appeal has invalidated the election victory of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in Kano State. The decision follows the removal of Yusuf by a three-judge panel led by Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay on September 20, 2023. The panel declared 165,663 of his votes null and void, citing the absence of signatures or stamps by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on these votes.
Further information will be provided shortly.
