FCT, Abuja - The fate of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state at the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Friday, November 17, has been predicted.

Why Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf was sacked by court
The independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Yusuf, the flagbearer of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), as the winner of the election after scoring the highest number of votes to defeat his closest rival, Nasir Yusuf Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, the tribunal deduced 165,663 votes of Governor Yusuf as invalid because they were not signed nor stamped by INEC.
The governor had filed an appeal against the judgment, and the Court of Appeal fixed Friday to deliver its own verdict by 10am.
Primate Ayodele said APC is determine to win Kano back
But Primate Elijah Ayodele, the spiritual leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, in a prophetic tweet on Friday morning said that the APC is determined to win back Kano state.
