They highlighted instances where APC leaders, including the National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, had made statements about the outcomes of court rulings which later appeared to align with the actual court decisions.
The coalition also raised apprehensions about purported plans within the APC to influence the Kano gubernatorial litigation through the judiciary, allegedly to facilitate President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
They emphasized the need for the Supreme Court of Nigeria to uphold justice by ensuring that the rightful winner of the Kano state 2023 gubernatorial election, Abba Kabir Yusuf, is granted his mandate.
Furthermore, they urged the judiciary to safeguard its hard-earned reputation by not allowing individuals associated with corruption to compromise its integrity.
The coalition stressed that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu can only gain the support of the people of Kano by adhering to justice and remaining impartial in the Supreme Court’s decisions regarding Kano.
