Recall that the Appeal Court had sacked Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) last Friday and declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, winner of the March 18 governorship election in the state.
However, there has been confusion over the Appeal Court judgement that sacked Yusuf, as the certified true copies indicated that the Court upheld the Governor’s victory.
