Massive Crowd Welcomes Governor Abba Yusuf Back to Kano Amid Legal Dispute

A sea of supporters flooded the streets of Kano on Sunday to extend a grand welcome to Governor Abba Yusuf, who has returned to the North-West state after a period of absence. The enthusiastic reception comes at a crucial juncture in Governor Yusuf’s political journey, marred by a legal tussle that saw the Court of Appeal removing him from office and declaring Nasiru Gawuna of the APC as the winner of the March 2023 poll.

Dressed in the distinctive red attire of the Kwankwasiya movement, Governor Yusuf’s supporters passionately expressed their solidarity through chants and the display of banners proclaiming “Abba is our Choice” and “Justice for Kano.” The crowd’s exuberance brought local movement to a temporary halt, causing delays in Governor Yusuf’s journey from the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport to the Sani Abacha Indoor Stadium, Kofar Mata.

On social media platforms, the event became a trending topic with the phrase “Kano is Red,” reflecting the dominant color of the Kwankwasiya movement. Videos and images shared by supporters documented the memorable homecoming.

Governor Abba Yusuf, undeterred by the legal challenges, took center stage at the Sani Abacha Stadium, where he inaugurated the training of 2,600 corporate security officers. This public appearance underscores his commitment to governance despite the ongoing legal battles.

The massive welcome follows the November 13 Court of Appeal verdict, which upheld the tribunal’s decision, stating that Governor Yusuf’s candidacy was in breach of the Electoral Law. This ruling affirmed Nasiru Gawuna as the duly elected governor of Kano. The September tribunal nullification had initially triggered the legal wrangling that has kept the nation on edge.

As the Supreme Court reserves judgment on the matter, Kano remains a focal point of political intrigue, with Governor Abba Yusuf’s return serving as a symbolic moment in this unfolding chapter.
