As voting ends in Kano around 2pm, the Kano state governor Abba Yusuf had casted his vote at his ward in Gwale local government area on Saturday, while calling on youths to desist in any act that will lead to disruption of the peaceful process.

Addressing newsmen after casting his votes, the governor said they are aware of plans by some disgruntled persons to truncate the election process and are taking measures against that.

On the general conduct of the election, governor Yusuf expressed appreciation and called on parents to ensure that they watch over their children and guard them against engaging in any form of violence.

The governor noted that the elections, which took place in 484 wards across the 44 local governments, were the freest in Kano’s history.

He called on those elected to serve the people’s interest and his administration would ensure good governance.

The governor commended the chairman and staff of KANSIEC for ensuring the conduct of free and fair elections in Kano.

“When it comes to election their shouldn’t be any impunity and we should ensure that people were allowed to vote their mandate

“I am appealing to the judiciary to continue being neutral when it comes to Elections, it so not good for our judiciary to be partisan even though the Kano state government is the only Government which came into office under the platform of NNPP, we shouldn’t be intimidated, people of Kano are peace loving people but if they push to the wall they can react.

“We’ve seen what happen in Rivers, so we took proactive measures in ensuring that similar scenario does not happen in Kano.

“I want t appeal to the opposition to always accept defeat as we have upper hand in terms of voters support” the governor stated.

The leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate in 2023, Rabiu Kwankwaso also casted his vote at his Kwankwaso Ward of Madobi local government.

Addressing newsmen after casting his vote on Saturday, Kwankwaso appreciated the entire process as peaceful and fair.

However, Kwankwaso alleged that the immediate past governor of Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje and the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has disbursed large amounts of money to the party chairmen in Kano to hier thugs to disrupt the election in the state.

“Supporters of the Gandujiya are planning to disrupt the election process. They gave money to their party chairmen to hire cars, Volkswagen Gulf, and wield dangerous weapons with which to attack voters later in the day and break the ballot boxes.

“This is not proper and we have informed those concerned about this especially the security agencies so that they take the necessary measures.

“We have also informed our youth and the supporters to ensure that the election is completed without disruption.

“I am happy that things are going on well at the moment because those that want to disrupt the process usually come out in the afternoon to evening period” Kwankwaso stated

The elections have concluded in most parts of the metropolis around 1400 hrs, as the turnout, though fair is not massive. More so, some of the leading opposition parties in the state that include PDP and APC did not participate in the process.

Only six political parties contested in the process, most of which are not very popular in the state contesting with the ruling party in the state. These include New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Accord Party (AP), National Rescue Movement (NRM), African Action Congress (AAC) and Action Alliance (AA) out of the 19 political parties in the state.
