November 28, (THEWILL) – Nigerian singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, Chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, and the South West Public Relations Officer of the party, Kilamuwaye Badmus, have thrown their weight behind the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, as he moves to reclaim his governorship mandate at the Supreme Court.
Abdulkareem also released a song in support of Governor Yusuf.
It could be recalled that the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja last week upheld the judgment of the Tribunal, which nullified Yusuf’s governorship mandate but the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgment put aside the tribunal judgment and upheld the claim of the appellant.
Yusuf and the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) have approached the Supreme Court to comply with the certified true copy to upturn the verbal judgement of the Court of Appeal.
In the song released by Abdulkareem through Bullion Records, a subsidiary of Bullion Go-Neat Global Limited owned by Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, he called on Yusuf to seek the intervention of God in the matter pending before the court.
“Kanawan Dabo stand up and seek for Allah’s intervention. Kanawan Dabo don’t allow them to cheat you.
“Kano is not Lagos. Whatever your intention, we are above you,” he said in the song.
Abdulkareem urged the people of Kano to support Yusuf to build their children’s future. He assured them that only Abba could uplift their lives and that they should rally around him.
“In the year 2019, they stole your mandate. This year 2023, no going back. Don’t allow them, they are deceivers,” Abdulkareem charges Abba Yusuf.
Ajadi, who recently paid a solidarity visit to Abba Yusuf in Kano, said the wish of millions of people of Kano will stand at the end of the day, maintaining that his claim of four plus four (4+4) is certain for Abba Yusuf of NNPP in Kano state.
Ajadi, who contested the governorship of Ogun State on the platform of the NNPP in the 2023 election, said Yusuf will be affirmed as the Kano State Governor by the Supreme Court.
He called on the good people of Kano State to remain calm and avoid provocation from the opposition who are enjoying a temporary victory.
“I see it as a temporary setback as the judgment cannot stand the test of time. The Supreme Court will give us judgment. It will rubbish the judgment of the Court of Appeal,” he stated.
Badmus also assured the people of Kano State that Yusuf is going to complete his tenure, adding that the Supreme Court will upturn the judgment of the Court of Appeal.
He warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to destroy democracy by putting the judiciary under pressure.
Badmus warned President Bola Tinubu not to turn Nigeria to Lagos State where he dominated all aspects of governance.
