The Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has hired the lawyer representing President Bola Tinubu, Wole Olanipekun (SAN) to regain his mandate at the Court of Appeal.
Naija News recalls that the Kano State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal last month sacked Yusuf and declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasir Yusuf Gawuna as the winner of the March 18 gubernatorial election.
Yusuf who is challenging the decision of the tribunal filed a 42-ground of appeal before the appellate court.
In a copy of the notice of appeal, Olanipekun who led the legal team of President Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), is now the counsel for Governor Yusuf.
Also on the legal team of the governor are: Bode Olanipekun (SAN), Ibrahim G. Waru and Akintola Makinde, with Wole Olanipekun & Co as the legal firm handling the appeal, while Chief E.O.B. Offiong (APC) remains the counsel for the APC.
