APC drags INEC, NNPP to court over Kano gubernatorial election outcome
By Abdulgafar Oladimeji
The All Progressive Congress, APC has directed its legal team to seek legal redress against the declaration of Abba Kabiru Yusuf of the NNPP as the winner of the 18th March governorship election in Kano state.
The party spokesman, Ahmed Aruwa disclosed that the Kano APC faults the results declared by INEC, which confirmed the candidate of the NNPP as the winner of the governorship polls.
He added that the declaration of the winner of the elections as announced by INEC contravenes the provisions of the laws regulating the overall conduct of the elections.
He alleged that INEC had acted in contrast to the provisions of the electoral rules by declaring Abba Gida Gida as he is fondly known as the governor elect of the state.
Aruwa disclosed that the state party hierarchy l has directed its legal organ to proceed to challenge the outcome of the elections before the state governorship election petition tribunal sitting at Miller road court complex.
He said though the APC gov candidate Nasiru Gawuna has congratulated the governor elect, in contrary the APC is of the strong conviction that the declaration exercise is in violation of the laid down electoral laws, which prompted the decision by APC to proceed in search for legal redress before the court with competent jurisdiction..
