The Alliance for the Protection of People’s Votes, cautions against thwarting the will of the Kano people, urges the Supreme Court to look at the case and set aside the miscarriage of justice made at the lower courts.
A Nigerian-based pressure group, Alliance for the Protection of People’s Votes, led by their National Leader Mr. Olusegun Badmus, cautions certain elements, and other critical stakeholders in the polity, against jeopardizing the will of the Kano people.
The pressure group made this statement after a closed-door meeting by its officials held in Lagos.
Breaking: Supreme Court Reserves Judgement on Kano Election Dispute
The group asserts that it’s on the records that the judgments of the Kano governorship election tribunal and the appeal court were a travesty of justice, served by the most popular Governor in Nigeria, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, the highest in the country.
The alliance expressed concern that the judiciary, as demonstrated in the Kano case, seems to be setting a precedence, where desperate politicians rejected by the electorate could go to court, and take over the government which, by doing that, becomes a threat to our democracy and may be a catalyst to a political crisis.
Badmus emphasized the imperative for Nigeria’s apex court to uphold its integrity, and avoid endorsing illegality, as seen in the tribunal and appeal court rulings.
The group supports the position of elder statesmen like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, General T Y Danjumma, a pillar of democracy, urging that after the electorate votes, three people should not overturn the mandate of millions of voters, as witnessed in the Kano case.
They also call on President Tinubu, who was at the forefront of the actualization of the June 12 mandate annulled by the military junta, to ensure that interference at the Supreme Court is blocked and justice by affirming the victory of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who was overwhelmingly elected by the people of Kano is actualized.
They caution against throwing Nigeria into a pre-1966 election crisis, where regional upheavals turned the west into the wild wild west and other misfortunes that befell Nigeria, such as the civil war.“
