Kano: Supreme Court judgment is God’s decision- Nasiru Gawuna

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, has admitted after the Supreme Court upheld the election of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on Friday.

The APC candidate said the ruling of the Supreme Court was God’s decision, while appreciating his supporters and the good people of Kano State.

Kano was tensed on Friday as both the NNPP and the APC supporters awaited the outcome of the Supreme Court ruling, which eventually went in favour of the incumbent governor.

Speaking with BBC Hausa after the ruling, Gawuna said he already wished Governor Yusuf well before the litigation while emphasizing the need for peace to prevail in the state.

“This judgment is God’s decision, and we have accepted it. As we prayed that if it is good for us let Him grant us from His bounty and if it is otherwise he would replace it with something better. We are very sure that God has answered our prayers. He is All-wise. We are thankful to Allah, the Almighty.

“Our supporters should understand that Allah, the Almighty, is the Designer of everything and has destined this to happen. Everyone should calm down and accept God’s decision.

“This is what all leaders should do after exhausting court processes. Even before the litigation, I wished him well. Our prayers are always to Allah to make him a just leader for all, especially now that he has been affirmed as the duly elected governor of the state. Every patriotic citizen should pray so,” he said.
