A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Olumide Akpata has called on the president of the Appeal Court, Monica Dongban-Mensem, to provide “cogent clarifications” on the “clerical error” in the Kano State governorship election judgement. There had been controversy during the week after the Court of Appeal in Abuja affirmed the verdict of the Kano State governorship election petition tribunal which sacked Abba Yusuf, candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), as the governor.
