The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has described the election process in the state as “really democratic”.
He
thanked all his supporters for coming out in their numbers to re-elect
him, while he called on those aggrieved by the outcome of the exercise
to simply take it in good faith.
“We have to appeal for peace and
stability. Those who jubilate should jubilate in peace to avoid
intimidation and those who are not happy should take it in good faith.
“But all I can say is, it is democracy in action and we need to live together,”
Speaking
on his plans for the state over the next four years, Ganduje stated
that he would consolidate the programs and policies already being
implemented in his previous term.
“I believe that we shall take Kano to the next level considering what we have already done on the ground,” he said.
“There
is no doubt when you are going for a second term, you are going for
consolidation in order to ensure that there is continuity in all the
policies programmes so that we ensure that we take the state forward and
also we have to extend our hand of friendship to all those who
contested so that we come together and move Kano State forward”.
Recall
Ganduje was announced as the winner of the election on Sunday, after he
polled a total of 1,033,695 as against his closest rival, Abba Yusuf of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 1,024,713.
