THE governor of Kano state, Abba Yusuf, has said he will seek redress at the Supreme Court.
This was following the November 17 Court of Appeal court judgment against him.
A statement issued on Saturday, November 18, and signed by the spokesperson of Abba Yusuf, Sanusi Bature, described the court of appeal judgement as a miscarriage of justice.
“I want to inform the good people of Kano and, indeed well meaning Nigerians that based on the consensus of our stakeholders, we have instructed our lawyers to commence the process of appealing this judgement at the Supreme Court of Nigeria. We are optimistic that the Supreme Court will by the grace of Allahu (SWT), set aside these miscarriages of justice by the Tribunal and the Appeal Courts and reaffirm our mandate given by the good people of Kano State,” the statement stated.
He urged residents of the state to carry on with their businesses, noting that the administration had taken all the required precautions to guarantee the safety of their lives and property in the state as a fundamental duty.
While assuring citizens that the temporary setback won’t stop his administration from carrying out the projects and initiatives meant to bring back the state’s former splendour, he urged them to keep praying for Kano.
