Supreme Court verdicts: Gov. Yusuf lauds judges for standing on path of truth

Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State has commended the Supreme Court Justices for standing on the side of truth and law to entrench justice in the country.

The Supreme Court reports that Yusuf spoke on Saturday while addressing party supporters in Kano after an unprecedented 8-hour peaceful return rally to the state.

He noted that even though attempts were made to steal his mandate, God and the Justices of the Supreme Court stood firm in restoring it.

” The Supreme Court gave their judgment and we came out victorious, and that will continue to be our story by the grace of God.

“We have always believed in the judiciary as an institution, we will continue to believe in the judiciary. And we want to thank God for what the Supreme Court did.

“We remain grateful to President Tinubu. We are also grateful to the judiciary.

”I want to thank President Tinubu for showing himself as a true democrat, and not allowing the political space to become intoxicated.

“He has also shown that as a beneficiary of the people’s votes, he would allow and support the judiciary to perform its role without undue interference optimally,” he said.

Yusuf commended the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) and its members, Kwankwasiya movement, and its committed leader, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso who stood with them all through the struggle periods.

He also thanked Kano citizens for giving him a rousing welcome back home.

”We spent eight hours in Kwanan Dawaki due to the heavy presence of party supporters.

“What the good people of Kano State have done to me is that they have shown their support for me. It has energised me for the rest of my life. By the grace of God, I will live to serve the people diligently.

“I will ensure that, by the grace of God, what God has destined for Kano, I will make sure I work day and night to make it a reality.

“We have concluded arrangements to inaugurate our youth empowerment programme, from which youths would be supported to be self-reliant.

“We will continue to accord priority attention to the health sector through the provision of medical facilities that would ensure qualitative healthcare delivery,” he assured.

Yusuf also said all public schools would be provided with modern learning materials for the development of education in the state.

He, however, called on the people to support government efforts by providing reliable information that could aid security agencies in apprehending bad characters in society.
