Nasir Gawuna, the All Progressives Congress’s (APC’s) candidate for governor on March 18, 2023, responded to his victory at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
Gawuna stated on Wednesday that he is not worried of the appeal that could overturn his tribunal triumph.
Anaedoonline.ng had previously reported that the state tribunal had ousted Governor Abba Yusuf on Wednesday and declared the APC the election’s victor.
The three-person tribunal mandated that a certificate of return be provided to Gawuna and ordered the revocation of the certificate of return that INEC had presented to Governor Yusuf.

Yusuf, who was dissatisfied with the decision, had promised to challenge the tribunal’s decision.
Gawuna while speaking on the issue in an interview with BBC Hausa said, “I am grateful to Allah for our victory in the Kano State election, which was affirmed by the court today (Wednesday). I thank Him for His will, which chose us to lead. I also thank our lawyers and the general public for their prayers and support.
“In the past, NNPP was initially declared the winner of the election, but I believe that Allah had already decided the outcome. We had the right to challenge the results in court, and we did so. The court’s ruling is also the will of Allah.”
When asked if he is fearful of an appeal, Gawuna said, “Anyone who believes that nothing happens without Allah’s will will never worry or take governance as a do-or-die affair. Whatever happens to us, we believe it is the will of Allah. We are not intimidated or afraid, because we know that whatever happens is for the best. Allah never makes mistakes.”
