Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has now filed
his defense against the petition of the governorship candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abba Yusuf, challenging his
electoral victory at the March 23 polls.
Ganduje filed a five-volume defense containing 1800 pages as
well as preparing 203 witnesses.
Speaking to Reporters shortly after filing the papers before the
State Elections Tribunal sitting at Miller Road, Bompai, Kano, one
of the Governor’s lawyers, Musa Lawan, said the PDP’s petition
lacked merit.
According to him, “We brought in our process in defense of the
petition and we have done it within time and we are very confident
of winning. Right from the beginning, we said PDP petition was
unnecessary, as we are sure of winning the case.’’
Barrister Musa Lawan said they would present 203 key witnesses
who would testify that there was indeed an election and that the
PDP petition was baseless.
