Kano election: No plan to compromise Supreme Court verdict – APC

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Abdullahi Abbas, said on Sunday the party has no plan to compromise the verdict of the Supreme Court on the March 18 governorship election in the state.

The apex court is expected to deliver judgement in the appeal filed by Governor Abba Yusuf on the November 17 judgement of the Appeal Court which sacked him from office in the coming days.

In a statement issued in Kano, Abbas accused the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) of circulating rumours to its gullible members ahead of the Supreme Court judgement.

He also dismissed a claim that NNPP had met with President Bola Tinubu to ensure Yusuf remained as governor and subsequently defected to APC.

The chairman stressed that APC was not aware of such an arrangement and would instead intensify all efforts to pursue its case at the Supreme Court to a logical conclusion.

“There is nowhere such a meeting was held with either Mr. President or any leader of the party. President Bola Tinubu is a Democrat and strongly believes in the rule of law and the right thing to be done.

“Therefore, he will not be part of any arrangement or reconciliation to subvert justice and support people who have stolen votes or breached the electoral act to emerge as leaders,” Abass stated.
