The National and State House of Assembly elections petition tribunal sitting in Kano has nullified the election of Tarauni Federal Constituency member, Muktar Yerima, of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) over certificate forgery.
Recall that Yerima was declared winner of the February 18th 2023 election on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Hafizu Kawu.
The petitioner, Hafizu Kawu of the APC challenged the electoral victory of Muktar Yerima on the basis of a fake certificate which the tribunal nullified on Thursday.
The three-member tribunal ruled that the primary school certificate tendered by the respondent, Muktar Yerima was forged, upheld Kawu’s petition and nullified the sitting NNPP member’s election.
