The Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on Wednesday, appreciated the people of the state for coming out en masse to cast their votes during Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections.
The Governor also praised Kano people for giving President Muhammadu Buhari the highest votes in the country, with 1,464,768 votes in the just-concluded presidential election.
Ganduje said this while speaking at a stakeholder meeting in the state following the outcome of the presidential election result.
DAILY POST had reported that INEC had earlier announced Buhari winner of last Saturday’s presidential election.
According to Ganduje: “We just need to commend Kano people for coming out en mass and giving the highest votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in the just concluded presidential election.
“This shows how Kano people are so much attached to the ideals and principles of the president.
“President Buhari has his strongest political base in Kano. As such, what he got from the state was long expected even before the day for the election.
“Kano is the strongest base of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). That is why we all resolved to unanimously elect our president for the second time, all the three senators and all the 24 members of the House of Representatives.”
