The Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, and has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, as the winner of the March 18 election.

The 3-man tribunal in its sitting on Wednesday ordered the withdrawal of the certificate of return which INEC presented to Abba Yusuf and directed a certificate of return to be issued to Gawuna.

The court deducted 165,663 votes from Yusuf’s votes, stating that the affected ballot papers were not stamped or signed and therefore declared invalid.
