Judgement review: Kwankwaso oblivious of judicial processes
Tribunal judgements on the governorship election by Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, is a clear testimony of the former governor’s total obliviousness on the jurisdictional procedures that affirmed Dr. Abdullhi Umar Ganduje as elected governor.
He said the Senator, who is quoted to have claimed ‘’voter disenfranchisement and manipulation of judicial processes” in the Kano case, is just being driven by his mawkishness and apparently by the recent development in Imo and Bayelsa states, which scenarios are in no way comparable.” He said the petitioner in Kano failed to neither substantively provide evidence that there was any irregularity in the election held on March 9 nor produce direct evidence to prove to the courts that they were not defeated in the March 23 supplementary election.
The commissioner stated that this move is a failed agitation and part of a strategy to keep his disillusioned supporters to continue to remain hopeful and to divert the attention of the government which is focused on execution of laudable development programmes particularly now that all litigations are over.
