Nigerian President Bola Tinubu waves at a crowd, during his swearing-in ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria May 29, 2023. REUTERSPIX: A Nigerian court on Wednesday overturned an opposition state governorship election victory in the key region of Kano, which was won by the New Nigeria Peoples Party against the ruling All Progressives Congress .
The decision came just weeks after another top court had dismissed two opposition challenges to overturn President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in February’s presidential ballot. It has been a swing state in presidential elections since Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999 where candidates fiercely jostled to garner votes to win the election.
Kwankwaso’s electoral feat in Kano robbed the major opposition Peoples Democratic Party of votes it should have collected for the presidency.
