In responding to the option opted by the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to challenge governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s victorious emergence at the just concluded Kano gubernatorial election, governor Ganduje challenges that, he is very much ready to face them in court.
Challenging further that, “Before the re-run election, which we emerged victorious, they were deep-necked in ballot stuffing and other electoral mis-behaviours, a ploy that was later uncovered.”
He posed the challenge at Ganduje town of Dawakin Tofa local government, when he was receiving thousands of supporters who trooped to congratulate the governor over his re-election.
Governor Ganduje said it was after that ballot stuffing scenario that genuine election was conducted at the supplementary election, “…which genuine result emerges as a byproduct of free, fair and credible election,” he noted.
“My thinking about these people is, they are about to kick-start what would later consume them unawares. What they did in other elections of the state legislators in some places, will be looked at, with the view to ascertaining authenticity of such votes they claimed to have gotten,” Ganduje reveals.
While assuring that, his second term in office would build on the good work he has done to the state, he boasts that, “Whoever comes to Kano will attest to the fact that Kano is fast growing and developing. We will improve on this and will, at the same time, consolidate the feats achieved.”
The governor commended those that trooped to congratulate him and his government over the victory and assured them that, his regime would continue to make Kano one of the safest states in the country.
“We are thanking those who voted for us, those who didn’t vote for us and those who didn’t even vote at all,” he stated.
