Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has told the people of Nigeria that he has a very vial strategy that will determine if he will end up retaining his position as governor after the supplementary election or not.
The Kano state governorship election was declared “inconclusive” by the Returning Officer Bello Shehu, due to the high number of cancelled votes that were more than the margin of win between the candidates of PDP and APC in the state.
After the election, PDP’s Abba Yusuf attracted 1,014,353 votes while Ganduje received 953,522 votes, revealing a margin of 26,655 votes.
However, the margin for the victory PDP secured which was 26,655 votes was less than 128,572 cancelled votes, which made INEC arrive at the inconclusive decision.
Ganduje said, “APC as a party has also re-strategized and very confident of victory because the local government areas where the rerun will take place remain the APC stronghold and the electorate in these areas have made up their mind to vote massively for the Governor they trust,”
“The modest achievements recorded so far by the Ganduje administration have touched the lives of the people in all sectors of development and also remain determined to continue if returned.”
Abba Yusuf also believes he is winning.
He said: “We call on all supporters to remain calm, we are known to be peace lovers and so we shall remain, as we are very sure of victory during the rerun.
“Our supporters should not forget that PDP is already leading in the last count of the election and interestingly, the by-election would take place in the strongest areas of our party.”
