Kano Tribunal judgement cannot dampen my morale – Gov Yusuf

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, whose election was overturned by the State Tribunal judgement, claimed that the decision was only a temporary setback.

“It will not dampen my morale as we will continue to do good works we have started for the good people of Kano State,” Yusuf said in response to the ruling.

He claimed that they are positive beyond a shadow of a doubt that the judgement was replete with mistakes and improper application of the law and, as a result, would not stand up in the Supreme Court or on appeal.

“My election was something that was testified to be upright and just; the people of Kano came out en masse to cast their votes for me, so nobody will sit down and upturn my victory,” he said.

He asked his supporters and the entire people of Kano to be law-abiding and patient.

“The judgement does not in any way mean that we are just going out of government, we are still in power and even tomorrow we are going to hold the weekly Executive Council Meeting to come out with laudable projects.

“The judgement will not dampen our morale because it is a temporary setback; we will get justice at the Apex Court”, he emphasized.
