Gawuna, who also doubles as the current Deputy to the Governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, had earlier rejected the outcome of the election.
This comes after days of political tension in the North-Western state following the refusal of Gawuna and his party to accept the outcome of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on March 20, 2023, declared the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) candidate, Abba winner of the keenly-contested election having polled a total of 1,019,602 votes against Gawuna’s 890,705.
