SHOCKER: CTC OF COURT OF APPEAL JUDGEMENT UPHOLDS GOV. ABBA YUSUF’S ELECTION, AWARDS N1M COST AGAINST APC.


Contrary to its Friday pronouncement upholding the judgement of the Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, the certified true copy of the Court of Appeal judgment however revealed that the appellate court had set aside the judgement of the lower tribunal.

The Court of Appeal had in its Friday judgement read by the chairman of the panel, Justice Moore Adumein, upheld the judgement of the tribunal, declaring APC candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, as winner of the governorship election in the state.

But when the certified true copy of the judgement was released by the court on Tuesday, our reporter observed a number of contradictory declarations in the judgement.

In the CTC, duly signed by the three justices, the appellate court went further to award the N1,000,0000 cost in favour of the NNPP and against the APC as against its Friday pronouncement.

In one instance, the appellate court declared “I will conclude by stating that the live issues in this appeal are hereby resolved in favour of the 1st respondent (APC) and against the appellant (Governor Abba Yusuf)”, but went further to contradict itself in another sentence.

The court said: “In the circumstances, I resolve all the issues in favour of the appellant (NNPP) and against the 1st respondent (APC).”

The court further shot itself on the foot, declaring “Therefore, I find no merit in this appeal which is liable to be and is hereby dismissed.”

But in the final line of the judgement, the court set aside the judgement of the tribunal, which sacked the governor.

“The judgment of the tribunal In Petition No.: EPT/KN/GOV/01/2023 between: ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC) v. INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION & 2 ORS. delivered on the 20th day of September, 2023 is hereby set aside,” the CTC of the judgement read.

Recall that the Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on September 20 sacked the governor and declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nasiru Gawuna, winner of the March 18 governorship poll.

Dissatisfied by the lower tribunal’s decision, the governor, through his counsel Wole Olanipekun, asked the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal.

But the court of appeal in a unanimous ruling on Friday said the governor was not a valid candidate in the March 18 gubernatorial election.

Although a presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga had denied involvement of the presidency in the case, sources however told this newspaper that the justices had initially prepared a judgement in favour of the NNPP but forces in the presidency allegedly coerced them into changing the judgement hours before reading.

The sources further said that the contradictory declarations as well as the four-day delay in releasing the full judgement might not be unconnected with the sudden u-turn of the justices.

*** UPDATES:
The Court of Appeal are now asking the Abba's legal team to return the CTC of the judgment for some “corrections”.


Like,, is this a kind of JOKE.??

The desperation of APC would eventually set the country on fire, starting from the north.

Baba druggie is gradually digging his own political grave via his over confidence in corruption and manipulation

And with this type of nonsense,, these manipulators expect the people not to erupt in serious protest, and even burn down the court??

The Revolution might start from Kano. When it starts, please everyone should be prepared because it would be worse than what happened in Ghana during Jerry Rawling's time.

Many BIG heads will roll.

Could it be that, that could have been the true judgement written down, ready for pronouncement before the power that be sent across their leprous money? Then after different rotten money infested declaration, they forgot to make corrections before printing out the initial judgement that was about to be read?

These people and their stark stupidity..
They will rush and make a very biigg mistake at first.
Then, they will start running around seeking for some whitewashing lies to tell.

Apcshit & Thief'nubu has destroyed what is left of democrazy...

This is really sad for Nigerians. Thesame thing they did to LP & PO. The justice system has been geabbed & ran away leaving criminals & fraudulent entities to write judgements in the comfort favour of the emilokans

....keep on inviting the Military Thief'nubu

What kind of nonsense is this?

Even a child can notice the many judicial somersaults this year. Judgements that don't rely on precedence. They denied that Tinubu lawyers wrote the PEPT judgment, yet provided a CTC with their watermark and were stuttering all through the judgment. Time will tell the outcome of this bold desecration of the temple of justice. Nobody should cry when the head is off.

Lalasticlala, Seun, Nlfpmod

The Judgement is a clear case of judicial interference. This is a doctored report, the original script was withdrawn and adjusted to the whims and caprices of the political actors

Whatever, I stay in my lane. Nigeria's democracy is in a coma.

Lol.. dailynigerian. sometimes i kinda feel sorry for wailers, they sucks at propaganda.
OP is a LP supporter, you kinda feel sorry for LP supporters, they wail more on the behalf of PDP and NNPP, you wonder why these folks went their seperate ways prior to the elections, seems more like Obidents are looking for any headline for consolation. It's going to be a long night for y'all wailers.

The only thing I will say is that THERE WAS A COUNTRY.

Na so you dey always call genuine news fake .. do research.. naa you won't

The good thing is that the judgement was read out in Court

It's a big shame on our judiciary if this is actually true. They have totally lost it at this point.

Go read Bashir Ahmed post on the matter. It's just in one instance that the slip was made ....all other instances the judgement was clear...
Abba Yusuf lost the appeal.
You don't read judgement in isolation.
Besides there's room to correct genuine slip or mistakes.

They Read one thing in court.
And Delivered another thing to the parties..

And you're not bothered at the inconsistencies??

You didn't bother to ask “from which document then did they read out what they read inside the Court.??”

Still fake news.. In one line, the court resolved in favour of NNPP, and in another line, the court dismissed the appeal of NNPP. Which one are we to believe?, wailers go with the first line while APC go with the second.
Everything is fake bullshit, the court of appeal of all, does not make such silly mistakes. your attempts at villifying our judiciary just because you lost, makes y'all looks silly and dumb.

Difrent:

Ok naa..

ROOM...

let there always be rooms at every error.
Even unwarranted errors in critical cases.

You're missing the point here.

Why would there be such an error in the first place..


You're talking about who won and who lost.


But we are trying to even find the root of the error..

What caused the error?

Bro, go back and read the OP again, there was a part of it where the court dismissed the appeal of NNPP. Why can't wailers focus on that part?. Nevertheless, it is still a fake bullshit from the stable of wailers.
