The Supreme Court’s decision was confirmed in a statement released by the Director of Public Enlightenment at the Kano Government House, Aliyu Yusuf.
Governor Abba Kabir, in the statement, lauded the democratic spirit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Deputy, Kashim Shettima, for abstaining from involvement in the apex court’s judgment despite facing substantial pressure from dissenting quarters.
As a true democrat and progressive, I call on my opponent and his supporters to join hands with me in the crusade of developing our dear state, Kano, for the betterment of its teeming indigenes,” remarked Governor Abba Kabir.
Emphasizing the need for visionary and committed leadership, the governor urged the people of Kano to rally behind initiatives that directly impact their lives positively in various aspects.
The statement also conveyed the governor’s appreciation to the people of Kano for their unwavering support, prayers, sacrifices, and resilience. Furthermore, Abba Kabir thanked the Supreme Court judges for upholding the integrity of the judiciary.
In a separate development, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) applauded the justices of the Supreme Court for their courage and commitment to fairness in delivering the verdict. Abba Ali, the acting National Chairman of NNPP, highlighted the party’s distinct ideology, emphasizing a commitment to cooperation rather than undermining other political entities.
We know what APC stands for in Kano. The NNPP has a different ideology from other parties. We don’t fight or undermine others, unlike what they do. But we still extend our hand of fellowship to other political parties.
Already, our governor, after the ruling, said he would carry other political parties in Kano along,” stated Abba Ali during a briefing in Abuja.
