The National and State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Kano State has invalidated the election of Yusuf Umar Datti, the candidate representing the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the Kura/Madobi/Garun Malam Federal Constituency.
The tribunal, presided over by Justice Flora Ngozi Azingbe, cited Datti’s failure to resign from his teaching position at Bayero University, Kano, within the mandated 30-day period before the election as grounds for nullification. Additionally, Justice Azingbe determined that Datti failed to sufficiently demonstrate his membership in the NNPP.
In response to this decision, the tribunal proclaimed Musa Ilyasu Kwankwaso of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the rightful victor of the election. Kwankwaso, a former commissioner during the tenure of ex-governor Abdullahi Ganduje in Kano State, now assumes the position in question. This verdict has ignited significant discourse within Kano’s political circles and is expected to have a lasting impact on the region’s political landscape.
