Thousands of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) supporters in Kano held special prayers for the success of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf at the Election Petition Tribunal. The All Progressives Congress (APC) is challenging the victory of Governor Yusuf in the governorship election held on March 18, 2023.
The prayers took place at strategic locations along six main entrance routes to Kano. Supporters of the Kwankwasiyya movement, which is aligned with the NNPP, organized the prayers to seek divine intervention in the tribunal’s judgment.
Top state government officials, politicians, and well-wishers also attended the prayer sessions. This marks the second time such prayers have been organized by Kwankwasiyya supporters in Kano.
The Kano State Election Petition Tribunal had earlier reserved its ruling on the APC’s petition challenging the victory of Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf of the NNPP. The tribunal will communicate the date for the judgment after all parties have adopted their final written addresses.
