“Ganduje pleaded with Tinubu to influence Supreme Court judgment, but he refused” – Gov Abba Yusuf reveals
Gov Abba Yusuf of Kano State has disclosed that his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje pressured President Bola Tinubu to influence the Supreme Court verdict of the Kano governorship election in favour of the All Progressives Congress candidate, Nasir Gawuna.
Yusuf made the claim via a statement issued by the Director General, Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano, Bature Tofa on Sunday.
He praised the president for refusing to succumb to the alleged schemes of Ganduje.
Recall that on Friday, the Supreme Court restored Yusuf’s victory in the March 18, 2023 governorship election, after both the election tribunal and the Court of Appeal had earlier nullified his victory.
In the Sunday statement, Yusuf expressed his satisfaction with Tinubu and Shettima’s steadfastness despite alleged pressure to interfere with the court judgement.
The spokesman said, “Referring to the alleged efforts by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje to use the Presidency to sway the Supreme Court’s decision in favour of Gawuna, Yusuf said Tinubu and Shettima’s unwavering stance was a testament to Nigeria being in capable hands.”
Yusuf also extended an olive branch to his rival, Nasir Gawuna, who lost in the Supreme Court.
“As a true democrat and progressive, I call upon my opponents and their supporters to join me in the endeavor to develop our beloved state of Kano for the betterment of its citizens,” he added.
