Kano residents have resorted to praying for Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared him winner of the state’s supplementary governorship election on Saturday.
A resident of Rijiyar Zaki quarters in the state, Engr. Ahmad Nafiu, said they would remain prayerful that the choice becomes the best for the state.
Nafiu explained that the Independent National Electoral Commission was a professional body that might have gone extra mile to achieve what it did, especially with the nature of the state.
Another resident, Malam Musa Abdallah, also said Muslims were expected to believe in destiny and Ganduje should be considered as one.
He prayed to God to guide the Governor to do the best for the benefit of the state.
Women were also not left out as Malama Amina Muhammed, a housewife, said though she was neutral about who would win the elections, there was the need to pray for Ganduje now that he had emerged victorious.
Muhammed enjoined all residents, including the opposition, to support the administration to build Kano.
She said that “side talks at this moment will not change the situation. Whatever God wills will surely come to pass so let’s not loose our belief.”
NAN reports that on Sunday evening in Kano, INEC declared Ganduje as the winner of the supplementary elections in Kano.
The governorship elections in Kano, held two weeks ago, was declared inconclusive by the INEC due to irregularities.
