As Kano stands anxious ahead of Thursday’s continuous sitting in Kano State governorship seat tussle, Muslims clerics of three major sects held special prayers for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Nasiru Gawuna.

 

According to platinum post, the clerics come from the Tijjaniyya, Izala and Kadiriyya sects.

 

 

They also offered prayers for the protection and guidance of the justices of the tribunal and Appeal Courts for returning what they termed the stolen mandate of the people of Kano to Gawuna who they said was the legitimate winner of the election.

 

 

The Ulamas who were led by Sheikh Albakry Mikail of the Tijjaniyya, Malam Garba Yusuf Abubakar of the Izala and Professor Maibushira of the Kadiriyya sect urged the Supreme Court to look at the facts before it and affirm Gawuna as a legitimate winner of Kano governorship seat.

 

According to Mallam Abubakar, the prayer was necessary to ensure that justice prevail over emotional feelings by the supporters of NNPP in Kano.

 

“We are gathered here to offer special prayers for both the justices of the Tribunal and the Appeal courts. We are equally calling on the justices of the Supreme Court to look carefully at the facts before it and do justice to the people of Kano State. So that their stolen mandate can be recovered.”
