Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the March 18 governorship election in Kano State, Nasir Yusuf Gawuna, has said he is unafraid of the appeal challenging his victory at the tribunal.<\/p>\n

The Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had, on Wednesday, declared the APC winner of the election and sacked Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.<\/p>\n

The three-man panel ordered a certificate of return to be issued to Gawuna and the withdrawal of a certificate of return presented to Yusuf.<\/p>\n

The court noted that ballot papers of 165,663 votes were not stamped or signed and, therefore, were invalid and deducted the 165,663 votes from Yusuf\u2019s total.<\/p>\n

Speaking with BBC Hausa in an interview while commenting on the tribunal judgment, Gawuna said, \u201cI am grateful to Allah for our victory in the Kano State election, which was affirmed by the court today (Wednesday). I thank Him for His will, which chose us to lead. I also thank our lawyers and the general public for their prayers and support.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) was initially declared the winner of the election but believed that Allah had already decided the outcome, saying they had the right to challenge the results in court, and they did so.<\/p>\n

Gawuna said that anyone who believes that nothing happens without Allah\u2019s will will never worry or take governance as a do-or-die affair, stressing that whatever happens to them, they believe it is the will of Allah.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cWe are not intimidated or afraid, because we know that whatever happens is for the best. Allah never makes mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n
