A group named The Pan African Women Project, has described elections in Kano State, both Presidential and National Assembly, as peaceful, free and fair.
The group leader, Ms Belinda Maduna revealed this at a press conference in Kano State hours ago.
She mentioned that the election was not just free and fair, but also free from violence as eligible voters voted peacefully as everything went smoothly.
Her words, “We want to use this opportunity to tell you that the election in Kano was peaceful, free and without intimidation because everybody was calm on the day of the election,“
She also hailed the proper security at every polling unit in the state, saying reports of violence or ballot box snatching were scarce all through the election.
She said, “The security personnel did a great job during the election because there was no violence or ballot box snatching. Kano is a model despite its large population.”
“In spite of the challenges there was very high voter inclusion as no voter was disenfranchised.
“The observation made by our group was that 67 per cent of the polling units in Kano began accreditation of voters between between 8:30am and 9:00am,”
