A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, says the country could have been on fire had the Supreme Court sacked Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State during its judgements last Friday.

Galadima while speaking on Channels Television, also congratulated President Bola Tinubu for not interfering with the independence of the judiciary.

“I am congratulating Mr President for not interfering with the judiciary because Nigeria could have been on fire by now if what happened on Friday did not happen.

“I congratulate him (Tinubu) for having the strength of character and you can see that peace has pervaded the whole of Nigeria and our rating in the eyes of the world has come out.”

Recall that the Supreme Court had last Friday upheld the election of Governor Yusuf, by overturning the ruling of the Appeal Court and that of the Tribunal which both sacked the governor and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress as the duly elected governor.
