Protest rocks Kano over judgement sacking Yusuf as governor

Scores of youths took to the streets of Kano on Wednesday evening to protest the sacking of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, by the Court of Appeal.

The protesters stormed the Dan Agundi area of Kano chanting a solidarity song for the governor.

This is coming after the Certified True Copy of the judgement went viral.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had, last Friday, sacked Yusuf as the governor of the state.

The appellate court upheld the decision of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which declared Nasir Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.

The court declared Gawuna as the duly elected governor of Kano State, adding that Yusuf was not a valid candidate in the March 18 governorship election in the state.
