Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano state has said there is no going back on the planned October 26, 2024, Local Government election in the state.
This comes after a Federal High Court judgement voided the poll over what it termed “having card-carrying NNPP members as executive officers of the election commission.”
Governor Yusuf made the assertion while presenting NNPP flags to the 44 chairmanship and councilorship candidates at the Sani Abacha Indoor Stadium on Thursday evening, October 24.
As reported by The Punch, the presentation was attended by mammoth followers and supporters of the party.
The spokesman for the governor, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, in a statement, said that the state at this moment would not allow anybody to destabilise the existing peace being enjoyed by the citizenry.
He added that the state government and Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) had all the constitutional backing to hold the election.
Yusuf said:
The governor confirmed the development in a post shared on his X page on Thursday, accompanied by pictures of the event.
