Recall that Appeal Court declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of the 2023 governorship election.

Governor Kabir Abba Yusuf of Kano State is contesting the Appeal Court ruling that sacked him as governor.

A three-member panel of the court had said the governor was not a registered member of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, when he contested for the governorship election.

But a Certified True Copy of the judgement that surfaced  later gave a contrary view.

The court, however, clarified that the discrepancy was a typographical error.
