The Appeal Court has fixed Friday, November 17, 2023, for judgement on the governorship election dispute between Governor Abba Yusuf of the NNPP and Nasiru Gawuna of the APC.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Yusuf as the winner of the election after he polled 1,019,602 votes to defeat his closest rival, Gawuna, who scored 890,705 votes.
The court declared the 165,663 votes recorded from the affected ballot papers invalid while ordering INEC to issue a certificate of return to the APC candidate, Gawuna
Dissatisfied with the ruling, Yusuf appealed against the decision and petitioned the Appeal Court to declare him the rightful winner.
The verdict according to the notice will commence at 10 am.
