BREAKING: KANO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION TRIBUNAL REMOVES ABBA YUSUF, DECLARES NASIR GAWUNA OF APC WINNER

Kano Governorship Elections Petition Tribunal, on Wednesday, sacked the State’s Governor, Yusuf Abba, of the New Nigeria People Party. The tribunal, therefore, declared All Progressives Congress candidate, Nasir Gawuna, winner of the March 18 governorship poll.
