The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II has reached out to the people of the state to stay away from spreading false rumors that can incite violence after the declaration of governorship election in the state as inconclusive.
He mentioned that the call was important to reduce the tension that has trailed the declaration of the governorship election as inconclusive by INEC yesterday.
He mentioned that the law empowers just INEC to announce election results saying that, “that should be respected by the people.”
His words, “INEC is the only body given the power under the law to announce election results and it has done that by declaring the election inconclusive hence there will be re-run,”
“Politicians should not see elections as war but rather a contest that should be conducted peacefully.”
“The Police Commissioner, Muhammad Wakili is worthy of commendation in view of the fact that he has restored public confidence in the police.“
