Kano Governor Abba K. Yusuf has appointed President Tinubu's lawyer as the one who will defend him in court of Appeal
The Governor of Kano State, Engineer Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, hired the lawyer of President Tinubu, Brr
Wole Olanipekun (SAN) as the person who will defend him in the Court of Appeal against the decision to elect the governor of Kano State which was dismissed by the court.
If it is not forgotten, the Kano State District Court has removed Abba Gida Gida of the NNPP as the governor and appointed Nasiru Gawuna of the APC as the governor of Kano.
The 3-judge court ruled by rejecting Abba Kabir's more than 160,000 votes, saying they were all no
However, this decision caused a stir where leading local and foreign scholars are challenging the decision where they say that the court is wrong because there is no law that allows the court to destroy the votes that someone has killed INEC so that the vote is valid.
To this day, scholars continue to challenge the decision.
The NNPP party accused that the judges were threatened and arrested and hidden in some place, that's why they made this decision without anyone knowing about the case. He knows it's not long. The decision was made through the zoom software.
Even a week ago, some Nigerians living in London presented a protest on the matter where they demanded that the decision be followed because there is no justice in it.
On the other hand, the APC party explained that this decision is against the law because there are definitely fake votes in the votes of governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, which the court has now rejected.
On the 2nd of October, the governor of Kano appealed to the court to challenge this decision and hired the lawyer of President Tinubu to lead his lawyers before the court to ensure success.
Brr. Wole Olanipekun (SAN) is an experienced lawyer who has expertise in election cases.
He is also who lead the case of former governor of Rivers State, Neyson Wike, and is now leading the Case of President Tinubu's.
