The Kano All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in the Match 18 election, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, has congratulated the governor-elect, Abba Kabir Yusuf on his victory, and urged his supporters to accept the incoming government.
TrackNews reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Returning Officer, Professor Ahmad Doko Ibrahim, had declared that Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party garnered 1,019,602 to defeat Gawuna who scored 890,705 votes.
The Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Kano State, Malam Muhammad Garba has said that the APC would seek redress in court regarding the outcome of the polls.
But Gawuna in an audio message shared by his aide asked supporters to accept the decision of INEC.
“We already laid our complained on issues that occurred during the governorship election that made the results of the election faulty, hence demanding for review so that election can be conducted in places where lapses were discovered, contrary to INEC’s announcement of the candidate that won the governorship election.’
