The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State.
A three-member panel of the court held that the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) breached the constitution by sponsoring Yusuf who was not a member of the party.
Recall that a three-man panel of judges led by Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay had sacked Yusuf on September 20, 2023, by declaring 165,663 of his votes invalid.
The court said the votes were invalid because they were not signed or stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
