Court Affirms Abacha As Kano CPC Candidate

A Federal High Court in Abuja has affirmed, Alhaji Muhammed Sani Abacha, son of late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abcaha, as the governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) for Kano State.

Immediately the news got to Kano , hundreds of CPC supporters loyal to Abacha stormed the streets, especially around Nassarawa GRA, where Abacha's residence and the campaign office are located, to felicitate with him.

The court ordered CPC to remove from its document, the name of General Ja'faru Lawal Isa as the winner of the January 12, 2011 governorship primary election because he scored the second highest votes in the said election.
