There is a heavy existence of quick-response armed security workers around the ancient city of Kano, as the Governorship Elections Petition Tribunal is set to provide judgement on Wednesday. Currently, a public caution has actually been released that anyone who has no service in the Bompai area of the election tribunal ought to stay away from the location. We observed a program of force by the combined military and cops operatives in the state. The tribunal had actually repaired Wednesday, September 20, as the day to provide its judgement on the petition submitted by the All Progressive Congress (APC), challenging the election of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). The tribunal on Monday revealed the date for the judgement in a hearing notification sent out to the 2 celebrations. While Kano stays calm and tranquil, advocates of APC and NNPP are excitedly expecting the tribunal’s judgement. Advocates of the judgment NNPP have actually participated in a week-long prayer session looking for God’s intervention on the decision. The state federal government just recently sacked 2 designated authorities, following declared “unguided” declarations versus the judges of the tribunal. To preempt the breakdown of order, the Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Usuani Gumel, had actually welcomed leaders of the 2 political celebrations on a peace parley and interested them on the requirement to accept the tribunal’s decision in great faith and permit peace to rule in the state.
