The Court of Appeal in Abuja has scheduled Friday for the judgment in the appeal filed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf challenging his removal by the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.

VerseNews reports that the three-man panel of judges had earlier declared 165,663 of Yusuf’s votes invalid due to the absence of signatures or stamps by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
