Thank you

165,000 unsigned and unstamped Votes cannot be overlooked
How do we know Politicians didn't buy the sheets from the corrupt INEC Officers and fill it in themselves

It has happened many times before

tinsel:
This wan not the only basis. The most serious is the unsigned ballot papers of about 136,000. So stop dwelling on the other one as the only basis for his removal.

alizma:
From what I read, about 165k of his votes were declared invalid on ground that the ballot papers were neither stamped nor signed by INEC. The question here is where did he get them from?
Secondly he was said not to be a member of his party as at time of the election as his name was not in the membership register of party as required by electoral act, and the judge clearly stated that Yusuf did not put ANY resistance against the allegation.
People should stop thinking that election is a place were people go to exercise emotions, it was a contest and your opponent will look for every careless move of yours to defeat you. It was carelessness on his and his party not to have his name on their register and fraudulent to smuggle results sheets not signed nor stamped by INEC

alizma:
Did you read the judgement, do you know why he is removed or you are just reacting to the news?

Kukutente23:
In all these, the courts are overlooking the fact that Gawuna is not listed as one of the parties in the case yet he's the main beneficiary of the judgement.
I know they'll tell us it's parties that run for election but just let it be an opposition party that did this kind of thing and the court will remember you can't benefit from a case you weren't part of.
The obvious bias in the judgements coming out of our courts is nauseating.
EA2022 provides for usage of unsigned ballots. The courts are overlooking that provision.
Issues of primaries and eligibility of candidates are pre-election matters, the courts are also overlooking that.
I said it when the NNPP lost the appeal. APC online miscreants usually claim they won because their lawyers fought their cases well. By a stroke of luck, Olanipekun is Abba Yussuff's lawyer now and he's just lost at the Appeal. Shall we say he didn't argue the case well too?

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has vowed to reclaim his mandate at the Supreme Court.

On Friday, the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja upheld the ruling of the tribunal that sacked Governor Yusuf and declared Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna of the All Progressive Congress (APC) winner of the March 18 election.

In a broadcast on Friday, Yusuf said he had instructed his legal team to challenge the Appeal Court ruling at the Supreme Court.

Earlier, Abdullahi Ganduje, National Chairman of APC, said his party was waiting for Yusuf and the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) at the apex court.


“I thank Allah for this important judgement. We have to thank the judiciary for providing good administration of justice despite all the distractions that took place since the beginning of the case.

“We have to thank the judiciary. There is no doubt this is a victory for democracy. It is a victory for APC and a victory for Kano State. This is an indication that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria. Democracy we can say is matured in Nigeria. We have to thank all those stakeholders, the political parties, even the NNPP that took us to the Appeal Court.

“For Kano State, this victory is for all of us. We are fully aware, we know what happens during the election; a lot of malpractices and we took the issue to the tribunal and by the grace of God, we got a fair judgement in favour of our great party, APC.

“Now, the government in power, the NNPP decided to go the Court of Appeal and this morning , by the power of God, the Court of Appeal affirmed the judgement of the lower court. And by so doing, our gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Nasiru Gawuna is the duly elected governor of Kano State.

“But in all, probably, they will go to the Supreme Court which is part of democracy. There is nothing wrong for them to go to the Supreme Court. We too, we are ready to meet them in Supreme Court. And Insha Allah, we will win at the Supreme Court as well.”

blamingthedevil:
The main issue is , there was no record of conduct of Party Primary by NNPP in Kano Gubernatorial

Chinjo2:
You have been initiated into the APC Cult group. Henceforth, your reasoning no fit stable again.

garfield1:
By virtue of section 177 c,it is a constitutional matter and can be raised by anyone

BERNIMOORE:
òdè Dede.... ask any Yoruba man the meaning of òdè dede

BERNIMOORE:
you're a typical in.becile for thinking that wike will be dumb like you to work for those who don't value him....oponu

BERNIMOORE:
people like you need to be spanked severally on your yansh because you don't know what betrayal is.....when a 17 member committee was set up and 14 pick wike as VP and 3 pick Okowa as VP ...

Atiku betrayed the party....thinking that he can make wike irrelevant.... Today wike position As fct minister of federal capital is even far better than VP.... So go a learn the meaning of betrayal... Odè

BERNIMOORE:
The PDP board of trustees

BERNIMOORE:
Accepting Atiku Back after Rocking the PDP boat mercilessly in 2015 was the greatest undoing of PDP.... Kwakwanso who commands the influence that Atiku has if not even more than. Should have been the flagbearer while there should be an agreement of rotation of 4 years between kwakwanso and Obi..one thing that is clear, funds from Rivers state was the engine keeping PDP.... Noisemakers like Daniel Bwala & Dino has been put into their shoes because where men like wike is talking, both Dino & Bwala should be silent and be learning, iyorchia Ayu is not even soppose to be in a sensitive position & that tells why PDP affairs in Atiku's hand was a big failure.... When lpobs are supporting Atiku I knew that he will fail yakata....and wike they wish bad is the Governor of FCT now....receiving international delegates plus ruling over the country's capital.... Ipobs said he will not be relevant after leaving Rivers. But today those that ipobs supported are 90% irrelevant... From Atiku to Dino to Ayu to Bwala etc.....PDP a party that dreads the whole Africa now becomes a laughing stock.....yet Atiku still wants to contest at 82 in 2027....of course ipobs will be supporting him.

BreconHills:
Why do you keep saying thG it is about qualification only when the court clearly gave two rulings.

It is the responsibility of parties to ensure that their votes count. What this election hS shown is the importance of well motivated and knowledgeable agents. Only APC did thorough agent training before this election and only pdp and apc covered all polling units. This is what made the difference.

It won't be well with you

It is well with me, it is your family and your generations yet unborn that it shall be er be well with.

Frustrated mofo....why cursing?

BreconHills:
The tribunal invalidated over 165,663 ballots thumb printed in favour of NNPP. The court ruled that the votes were deducted because the ballot papers with which they were cast were not stamped or signed. This rendered the votes invalid, according to the tribunal.

Politicstoday:
the Supreme Court of justice will rule on that and reverse the Appeal court ruling cos’ it’s pre election matters

BreconHills:
Yes but what about the unsigned INEC sheets? You see unlike LP and PDP these guys were able to show proof not just allegation with affidavit

maasoap:
Have you prayed for yourself? No, you forgot to do that. NNPP should have put their home in order, now it is beyond their internal affair.
