December 07, (THEWILL) – A group, Coalition of Kano Concern Youth, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene and call to order judges handling election cases in Kano State.
The group said it is worried that Kano is suffering from what it described as judgments based on personal interest, ranging from Tribunal and Appeal courts, which, it said, seized their mandates.
This was contained in a statement signed and issued to newsmen by the Coordinator of the group, Ibrahim Rabiu, on Wednesday.
According to the group, the act by the judges is a clear signal of diminishing the image of the judiciary, which is the last hope of the common man, and is not in accordance with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The group noted the people of Kano State voted their choice, and using the court to undermine their chosen candidates is like a slap to democracy.
The Group informed that if the mandate of the NNPP-led government is seized, Kano State, being the highest producer of votes during elections, will be sidelined to bye-elections during general elections.
The youth, however, re-echoed their call to former Presidents, Religious and Traditional rulers nationwide to intervene and allow the people’s mandates in Kano see the light of the day in the next judgement of Supreme Court.
