Amid controversies surrounding the gubernatorial election petition appeals in Kano, Plateau and Zamfara states, the North East Coalition of Women in Politics (NEWPol) and Arewa Awareness Group for Political Stability (AAGPS) have called upon the Supreme Court to thoroughly re-evaluate the ruling of the Court of Appeal.

This was disclosed to newsmen in Maiduguri, yesterday, by the representative of the two groups, Bana Ba’ Malanjo, after a peaceful protest.

Malanjo said the foundation of a thriving democracy rests upon the principles of justice and the expression of the people’s will through free and fair elections.

Unfortunately, she claimed that the recent ruling by the appellate court raised significant concerns about the integrity of the electoral process in Kano, Plateau and Zamfara.

On behalf of the groups, she prayed the Supreme Court to declares Abba Yusuf, Caleb Mutfwang and Dauda Lawal as the rightful winners of the elections in Kano, Plateau and Zamfara states, respectively.
