Following his triumph in the Supreme Court, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state has extended an olive branch to his opponent, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate.
Yusuf, who secured victory under the banner of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Saturday, January 13, has warmly invited Gawuna and the APC, the primary opposition in the state, to collaborate with him in the shared responsibility of governing and advancing the state.
In a jubilant mood, the governor extended this gesture of reconciliation while addressing reporters in Abuja.
Yusuf has been in a legal battle defending his electoral win for approximately seven months.
Despite setbacks at the tribunal and Court of Appeal, he prevailed at the highest court.
The governor thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for their fairness.
He specifically appreciated the president’s decision not to interfere in the Supreme Court ruling, even under pressure from different sources.
