But the former governor of the CBN said Gawina was funny by describing the ruling as the will of Allah after he had failed in all he could to get the victory of the election from the right winner.

The former emir reportedly expressed happiness in the judgment of the Supreme Court, stating that he had called on the apex court to ensure that the people of Kano state get justice.

His comment reads in

“We have always been saying that since we are practising democracy and not dictatorship, it is the right of the people to elect their leaders and representatives.”
