Supreme court fixes date to deliver judgment on Kano guber appeal - Daily Post Nigeria

This resolution, however, was sequel to an earlier submission and responses by the appellant counsel and respondents counsels respectively.

He also added that the affected results were collated at the wards, local governments and state. Besides, the appellant counsel said that results from 207 polling units were as well cancelled and subsequently declared the election inconclusive as a result of the cancellation. He also explained that the declaration of inconclusiveness also amounted to ultra vires of the powers of the returning officer. And the rescheduling of the second election by the returning officer was also null and void.

But the lawyers for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state separately objected to the appellant counsel’s submission. M.N. Duru said, “The submission of the appellant counsel has been adequately addressed at the lower court. The submission is predicated on wrong premises.
