The court of appeal in Abuja has sacked Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso of the All Progressives Congress as the lawmaker representing Kura/Madobi/Garun Malam federal constituency in the national assembly.
The verdict of the appeal court reverses the judgment delivered by the Kano election petition tribunal. In September, the tribunal sacked the NNPP candidate and declared Kwankwaso the winner of the poll on the ground that the NNPP candidate did not resign as a member of staff of the Bayero University Kano before contesting his party’s primary election.Delivering judgment on Monday at the appellant court, the three-man panel led by Tunde Oyebamiji held that the tribunal was wrong to have counted the date of the appellant’s resignation from the date of his party’s primary election.
