A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has nullified the candidature of Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in next Saturday’s governorship election.
If the PDP fails to upturn the ruling before March 9, which is the date for the governorship poll, the field will be left wide open for Abdullahi Ganduje, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Kabir is believed to be the anointed governorship candidate of Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.
Justice Lowis Allagoa said the PDP should conduct a fresh primary election between today and Saturday, March 9.
