As the Supreme Court puts an end to the highly contentious Kano State governorship tussle, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has said the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shettima didn’t interfere in the legal battle despite stiff pressure from some disgruntled elements.

The Governor stated this while briefing newsmen at the premises of the Supreme Court in Abuja shortly after the Supreme Court judgement that reversed his sack.

A statement by the Director, Public Enlightenment of Kano Government House, Aliyu Yusuf, said the Governor noted with pleasure how the duo of Tinubu and Shettima never involved themselves in the matter.

The visibly elated Governor also extended hands of friendship to his major opponent under the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and his followers to join hands with his government towards the development of the state.

The statement reads, “According to Governor Abba, as a true democrat and progressive, I call on my opponent and his supporters to join hands with me in the crusade of developing our dear state Kano for the betterment of its teaming citizens.

“People of Kano need leaders with vision, passion, zeal, and commitment of initiating projects, policies and programmes that have a direct bearing on their lives in all facets and across nooks and crannies of the state.

“Alhaji Abba Kabir thanked Almighty Allah, the most exalted for the victory, commending the people of Kano for their support, steadfastness, prayers, sacrifices and brevity in affirming what they have elected as well as the Supreme Court Judges for upholding the glory of the Judiciary.

“He also appreciated NNPP leaders at all levels particularly the world leader of Kwankwasiyya movement, Sen. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso for his guidance and support during the trying period.

“The Governor noted with pleasure how President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Deputy, Kashim Shettima didn’t interfere in the apex court judgement despite stiff pressure from disgruntled quarters”.
