The tribunal certified Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress the winner of the March 18 election and dismissed Abba Kabiru Yusuf of the NNPP as the State governor on Wednesday.
“The tribunal has delivered its own judgment, we are going to consult our clients and I can assure you that we are going to appeal against this judgment.
“Because it is a judgment which we felt does not manifest the justice of the matter and I can assure you this decision will be set aside on appeal. It is not a new thing if you look at the decision that has been taken by the Tribunal in Osun state is almost the same as this one.
“That the tribunal without evidence can go and look at the document that was tendered before it. I can assure you this judgment will not see the light of the day in the Court of Appeal by God’s grace,” Tudun Wada said.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared Governor Yusuf of the NNPP, as the winner of the governorship election of March 18, 2023, after polling 1,019,602 votes to defeat his closest rival, Nasiru Gawuna, of the All Progressives Congress, who polled 890,705 votes.
