According to Bangari, the error would be rectified upon formal application by the concerned parties, citing the authority granted by Order 23 Rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Handbook for correction of clerical errors.
Contrary to speculations, Bangari emphasized that the judgement remains valid, dispelling any doubts about its integrity.
There was a commotion and a range of interpretations following the decision that affirmed the Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal’s ruling, which nullified Kabir Yusuf’s victory in the March 18 Governorship Election as a candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
