Judiciary on path to destroy Nigeria – Aisha Yesufu reacts to sack Kano Gov by Appeal court

Aisha Yesufu, a human rights activist, has said the judiciary is on the path of destroying Nigeria’s democracy.

Yesufu was reacting to the Appeal Court ruling that sacked Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf.

Recall that a three-man panel of judges led by Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay had nullified the election of Yusuf.

The court declared the 165,663 votes of Yusuf invalid.

The appellate court said the votes were invalid because they were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Votes garnered by the governor who contested under the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, were then reduced to 853,939, while those of Nasir Ganuwa of the All Progressives Congress, APC remained at 890,705.
