A chieftain of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Comrade Olufemi Ajadi, has petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC) over the Court of Appeal judgement on the governorship election in Kano State.
Ajadi, in a petition written to the NJC, urged the Council to investigate the controversy surrounding the judgement.
The court had affirmed the sack of Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, from office.
But, Ajadi in the petition yesteday, noted that the investigation becomes necessary after a paragraph in one of pages of the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Appeal Court judgement indicated victory for Yusuf even though the court’s announcement on Friday favoured APC’s Nasiru Gawuna.
The NNPP chieftain enjoined the NJC to clarify the matter.
He noted that the investigation has become necessary so as to ensure that the truth is not swept under the carpet.
He said, “Kano is sitting perilously on a keg of gunpowder. The Appeal Court read a statement that favours the APC candidate but the Certified True Copy showed that Governor Abba Yusuf won his appeal. What is going on in Nigeria?
“Nigerians have lost faith in the judiciary system but NNPP will not give up.
“I hereby call on the National Judicial Council to thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure that only the truth is revealed.”
