A former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has expressed optimism that the Supreme Court will do justice in the current Kano Governorship Election matter.
He said his party, the New Nigeria People’s Party, is confident that the Supreme Court will ensure justice in the case.
Kwankwaso made the remarks yesteday shortly after a prayer session held at his Miller Road residence in the Kano metropolis.
The prayer session was organised by the state government to ensure peace prevails in the state as well as to pray for the victory of Yusuf as the Supreme Court reserved judgment in the Kano State Governorship election dispute.
He said indications have shown that the Supreme Court judges are men of integrity who would do anything to ensure justice and fairness
According to him, the unfortunate development over the governorship seat in the state will not deter them in any way but will continue to pray that the right thing is done.
He said: “The unfortunate development over the governorship seat in the State will never deter them (the government) in any way but will continue to pray for the right thing to be done at the Court.”
Kwankwaso added that those at the helm of affairs must be reminded that justice is a panacea to progress while its absence will bring about chaos and disorder which will prevent meaningful development.
According to him, the mammoth crowd that poured out yesterday to welcome back Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is a clear indication that the people of the state voted for him, believe in him, and are strongly behind him to deliver their mandate.
He said the drama from the tribunal to the court of appeal was an embarrassment and a move to truncate democracy in Nigeria which all and sundry must work hard to prevent.
The former governor further applauded the NNPP legal team for doing a wonderful job, praying that the Supreme Court judges would be allowed to dispense justice without using the Federal might and other apparatus to intimidate them.
