As more Nigerians protest the overturning of outcomes of the March 18 governorship elections in Kano and other states where opposition parties won, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has cautioned leaders on the danger that comes with political injustice.

Faulting the verdict of the Appeal Court on the electoral dispute in Kano, Obasanjo wondered why three to five men would overturn decisions made by millions of voters during an election adjudged free, fair and transparent by reputable institutions and observers.

Only last week, three governors of opposition parties were sacked in separate judgments delivered by judges of the appellate court.

The affected helmsmen are Abba Kabir Yusuf in Kano, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State,  and Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State

Recall that the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had upheld the judgment of the election tribunal, which nullified the election of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, a decision described by Nigerians as gross injustice and threat to democracy in Kano and Nigeria.

According to the ex-President, the powers vested in the few judges are “totally unacceptable”, cautioning political leaders on dangers of injustice if the trend is not reversed by the Supreme Court.

In the same vein, human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has called on the apex court to review the decision of the lower court on Kano State governorship election, noting that it was injustice to punish millions of Kano voters for an offence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Already, Yusuf had decided to approach the highest court in the land to reclaim his victory.
