The lawyer representing the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State, Bashir Yusuf Muhammad Tudun Wada, has announced that the party will appeal the recent ruling of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
The tribunal had nullified the victory of NNPP’s candidate, Abba Yusuf, and declared Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 18 election.
Shortly after the tribunal’s judgment was delivered, Tudun Wada addressed the media, expressing the party’s intention to challenge the ruling.

I can assure you that we are going to appeal
He specifically stated,
“The tribunal has delivered its judgment, and we are going to consult our clients. I can assure you that we are going to appeal against this judgment because we believe it does not reflect the justice of the matter.
“I can confidently say that this decision will be overturned on appeal. It is worth noting that a similar situation unfolded in the Tribunal in Osun State. The tribunal, without adequate evidence, made a decision solely based on the documents presented before it. I can assure you that this judgment will not hold at the Court of Appeal by God’s grace.”
