Gov Yusuf lauds peaceful conduct of Kano LG Poll

Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State on Saturday commended the peaceful conduct of the state local government councils poll, saying it was most credible

Yusuf said this when he spoke with journalists at the headquarters of the state Independent Electoral Commission,(KANSIEC) shortly after he cast his vote at his word in Gwale Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

He said that the election which took place in 484 wards across the 44 LGAs of the state, was the freest in the state’s history.

He assured that those elected would serve the people’s interests and his administration would ensure good governance.

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

” When it comes to elections,there shouldn’t be any impunity and we should ensure that people are allowed to freely exercise their franchise.

”I am appealing to the judiciary to continue to be neutral when it comes to elections,it is not good for our judiciary to be pertisan.

“Even though 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, but if they are pushed to the wall, they can react.

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

“I want appeal to the opposition to always accept defeat as we have upper hand in terms of voter support,” he said.
