Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has taken significant legal action following his recent ousting by the Court of Appeal. On Wednesday, Governor Yusuf filed an appeal at the Supreme Court, challenging the decision that led to his removal from office last week.JAMB Portal
This appeal, filed on behalf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, includes the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) as respondents in the case. The move to the Supreme Court marks a crucial step in Yusuf’s legal battle to contest the appellate court’s ruling.
The document, which lists 10 grounds of appeal against the judgment of the appellate court, sought three reliefs from the Supreme Court, as follows, “An order allowing the appeal and setting aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered on November 17, 2023.NYSC Portal

“An order upholding the portion of the judgment of the Court of Appeal setting aside the judgment of the trial tribunal in petition No: EPT/RV/GOV/11/2023 and making an order as costs in favour of the appellant.
Such further orders as this honourable court may deem appropriate in the circumstances of the appeal.”
The PUNCH reports that last week, the Court of Appeal nullified the election of Yusuf by declaring that the non-inclusion of his name in the register of his party held by INEC violated Section 177 (c) of the 1999 Constitution, which required a candidate vying for a governorship position to be a member of a political party.
