The Supreme
Court has scheduled judgment for January 20 (Monday) in the appeal challenging
the last governorship election in Kano State.
A seven-man
panel of the court, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim
Muhammad, made the decision after lawyers in the case, comprising an appeal and
a cross-appeal, adopted their processes and prayed the court to grant their
prayers.
The main
appeal marked: SC/1450/2019 was by Abba Kabir Yusuf and his party, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP). While the all Progressives Party (APC) filed a
cross-appeal.
Respondents
in the main appeal are: the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),
the APC and Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Meanwhile,
the court has reconstituted its panel. It has replaced Justice John Okowo, who
took ill on Monday, with Justice Amina Augie.
Other
members of the panel are Justices Sylvester Ngwuta, Olukayode Ariwoola, Kudirat
Kekere-Ekun, Amiru Sanusi and Uwani Abba-Aji.
The court
has risen briefly.
