The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna, has said the verdict of the Supreme Court was God’s decision.
Guwana, who lost his appeal against Governor Abba Yusuf at the Supreme Court, said he had accepted the verdict of the apex court.
Speaking with BBC Hausa, Gawuna said he already wished Governor Yusuf well even before the litigation.
On Friday, the Supreme Court affirmed Yusuf as the duly elected Governor of Kano State.
“This judgment is God’s decision, and we have accepted it. As we prayed that if it is good for us let Him grant us from His bounty and if it is otherwise he would replace it with something better. We are very sure that God has answered our prayers. He is All-wise. We are thankful to Allah, the Almighty.
“Our supporters should understand that Allah, the Almighty, is the Designer of everything and has destined this to happen. Everyone should calm down and accept God’s decision.
“This is what all leaders should do after exhausting court processes. Even before the litigation, I wished him well. Our prayers are always to Allah to make him a just leader for all, especially now that he has been affirmed as the duly elected governor of the state. Every patriotic citizen should pray so,” he said.
