Kano guber: Ganduje files 1800-page defence, lines up 203 witnesses against PDP
This was declosed by the Governor’s lawyer, Barrister Musa Abdullahi Lawan, on Saturday.
Barrister Lawan, who is one of the leading counsels to the Governor, said the PDP’s petition was unnecessary in the first place but since it is filed, they would still have to grapple with losing. The lawyer said they are bringing in 203 witnesses who are key and they are to tell the Court that there was indeed an election and that the PDP petition was baseless.
He added that they have filed their petition within the stipulated time of 21 days, claiming that even PDP exhausted their time before they filed in their petition.
