The Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which on Wednesday, September 20, voided the declaration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf as the winner of the March 18 governorship election, has come down hard on party supporters for threatening the lives of the panelists while the trial was on.
The tribunal that sacked Governor Yusuf accused members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) of ‘chasing’ the panelists out of Kano, saying that such conduct smacked of terrorism and anarchy.
