Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, the ex-Governor of Kano State, has urged the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to embrace the Supreme Court’s decision gracefully.

He conveyed this message through an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

The ex-governor, expressing confidence in the judicial system, emphasised that power cannot be obtained or taken away through various forms of mistreatment, animosity, or inflammatory remarks.

Shekarau's advice to Gov Yusuf and Gawuna

As quoted by Daily Trust, the ex-governor said:

“There is one popular saying: Whoever is not prepared to lose is not a civilized candidate. No amount of certainty will give you a 100 percent assurance. Once the voters decide, that is all. But it does not mean you will take any rubbish. If you have reasons you can go to court. We have been preaching this in Kano.

“Now they are in court over the Kano governorship election; we keep our fingers crossed. I am advising both parties NNPP and the APC that once the Supreme Court decides, let (there) be peace and accept. And I am appealing to them that abuses, hatred and hate speeches will not give you or deny you power.”

Abba Kabir Yusuf, the incumbent governor, and Gawuna from the APC have been engaged in legal disputes since the gubernatorial election in March of the previous year.
