The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has withdrawn its appeal against the judgement of the Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which sacked Abba Yusuf as winner of the election.
The electoral umpire, in a letter dated October 6, and signed by the head of commission’s legal department in Kano, Suleiman Alkali, and addressed to the Secretary of the tribunal, said it withdrew its appeal as it had no reason to appeal any judgement.
“I have been instructed by the Commission headquarters that INEC as an umpire have no reason to appeal any judgment.
“Consequently, the National Commission In charge if Legal Services and National Commissioner in charge of Kano zone directed that the appeal be withdrawn and all processes for all Appeals should be forwarded to the Kano Office,” the letter read.
