Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Kano-based lawyer and professional negotiator and mediator, Umar Sa'ad Hassan, predicted the chances of Governor Yusuf at the Supreme Court.
Governor Yusuf approached the apex court after being sacked by the election tribunal and the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja.
Speaking on Governor Yusuf’s chances at the Supreme during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Umar said the NNPP governor has little chance of upturning the appellate court's verdict.

Legit.ng also reported that the Court of Appeal insisted on its judgment sacking Governor Yusuf.
The Chief Registrar of the appellate court, Umar Bangari, restated that the certified true copy of the judgement confirmed the sacking of Gov Yusuf.
Clarifying the controversy trailing the judgment, Banbari said the clerical error in a portion of the CTC judgement did not change the unanimous decision of the three-member panel of justices that sacked Yusuf.
