Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has described the Appeal Court judgment, sacking him from office as robbery, saying he would challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court.
He said his lawyers have been instructed to approach the apex court to reclaim his “stolen’’ mandate.
This is after the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, last Friday, nullified the election of Governor Yusuf.
Reacting, the governor said the people of Kano were robbed of their mandate.
His words: “We believe the judgment was unjust to us. Because we know the people of Kano came out en masse to vote for us.
“We are optimistic that the Supreme Court would return our stolen mandate and address the unjust melted on us.
“I want to assure the people of Kano that it is a temporary matter and in no distant time, the Supreme Court will reclaim our mandate.
“We will not be deterred from the good work we have started in the state.
“We will not be deterred from the good work we have started in the state.
“We call on people of the state to go about their normal activities as security personnel are on the ground to protect them.’’
