The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Kano over the Kano State Governorship election between the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) held in March, 2023 General Elections has sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) as the elected governor of Kano state, declaring Malam Nasir Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the March 18 election.
It happened that, Kano State Guber Tribunal deducted 165,663 Votes from the Total votes scored by Governor Yusuf on the grounds that the Ballot Papers 165,663 were not stamped or signed and were therefore declared INVALID while Tribunal declares Nasir Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Winner.
