The National Auditor of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Barr. Ladipo Johnson, has criticized the Kano State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal over comments credited to the panel that supporters of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and leadership of the party in Kano State engaged in acts of banditry and terrorism.
In a statement in Lagos at the weekend and made available to newsmen, Mr Johnson rejected what he described as “indecorous and libelous language” used by the panel, in order to tarnish the image of leaders and members of the party.
Mr. Johnson was particularly miffed by the portions of the publication where a member of the panel, Justice Benson Anya, condemned NNPP members, who he referred to as “the gang of Red Cap wearers who, like a violent and terrorist cult, chased us out of Kano and put us in the fear of our lives”.
