Governor Abba Yusuf and Nasir Yusuf Gawuna
The All Progressives Congress on Wednesday said it has yet to receive the Certified True Copy of the Court of Appeal judgment on the Kano State governorship election which was delivered on Friday.
The court had on Friday upheld the decision of the election petition tribunal, which sacked Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party and declared the APC candidate, Dr Nasiru Gawuna, winner.
But on Tuesday, copies of the judgment’s CTC, which went viral, showed that there were mix-ups as some portions of the document indicated that Yusuf’s appeal against his sacking was upheld while the decision of the tribunal was set aside.
Briefing journalists at the national headquarters of the APC in Abuja on Wednesday, however, the party’s legal adviser, Abubakar Kaka, said, “As far as my office is concerned, we have not received official copy of the certified true copy of the judgment. But we will write and get a copy.
“If the copy that will be conveyed to us still contains this error, we will take steps eventually.
“What we will do and we have done right now, is to write a request demanding for the CTC. Until we get the CTC containing that error, which is being banter around, before we will now know what to do next.” (The PUNCH)
