No fewer than one thousand women have staged a protest on Kano streets to express their concerns over the recent controversy from the Court of Appeal judgment.

The women, carrying placards chanting support songs for the governor, Abba Yusuf, approached the state police command and submitted a letter containing their grievances on the aftermath of the Appeal Court judgement.

This is the first time in the history of Kano that women would come our en-mass to march on the streets demanding justice for democracy and protecting their mandate of the March 18 governorship election.

One of the protesters, Hajiya Rabi Hotoro, said they are on the streets to express concerns over what transpired at the Appeal Court two weeks ago.

“We are out today because we believe in democracy and the independence of the judiciary, we want to call on the relevant stakeholders to do the needful and allow the will of Kano people to prevail.”

Kano has been in a serious political tension following the controversies from the Appeal Court judgment where verbal and written judgments differed.
