Appeal Court declared Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State ineligible to hold office, affirming that he was not a member of the New Nigerian People's Party (NNPP) during the elections.
The court contended that Governor Yusuf's lack of membership in the NNPP at the time of the elections rendered him unqualified to contest for the gubernatorial seat. The judges criticized the tribunal's decision, asserting that it was erroneous not to disqualify Governor Yusuf on these grounds.
This verdict reshapes the political landscape in Kano, raising questions about the legitimacy of Governor Yusuf's tenure and the implications for the state's governance
