By Yakubu Salisu A, Kano

Kano State Commissioner Ministry  for Local government Murtala Sule Garo has expressed optimistic that the Ruling All Progressives Party (APC) would win the 44 local government areas in the local government election.

Garo made this known to news men shortly after casting his vote at his home town Garo in Kabo local government and supervision of the election.

Garo Described the election as free and fair devoid of any form of violence.

” from my experiences, this is the first time am witnessing such a free and fair election conducted by the Kansiec. We don’t have any report of any violence from the 484 wards across the 44 local governments”

” As you are aware the ministry for local government is the coordinating body of the 44 local governments, so by extension am coordinating and as far as an concerned, the election is free and fair”

The Commissioner attributed the delay experienced during the election to the failure on the part of the contractor who could not deliver sensitive materials on earlier on Friday as scheduled but arrived lately Friday night hence, the delay in the distribution of the electoral materials on Saturday.

Murtala further stated that, considering the performance of his Excellency Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and the efforts put in place during the campaign, one can easily conclude that APC would emerge victorious in the election, winning the 44 local governments.
