Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of
Kano, says the state will give President Muhammadu Buhari five million votes if
he contests the 2019 election.
Speaking at the swearing-in of 44
new local government council chairmen and 484 councillors on Monday night,
Ganduje said the victory recorded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the
local government polls shows that the “party is Kano”.
“The overall number of votes
scored by the APC candidates is more than what President Buhari scored in 2015
general election, that is to say that if eventually he agreed to contest 2019
general election, I assured you, we will give you five million votes,” he said.
“We have seen in this election
was a clear indication that Kano is APC and ready to contribute to its success
any time.”
The governor warned the newly
elected public officers against mismanagement of funds.
He said anyone caught would “pay
the price.”
Ganduje also said the 2018 local
government budget has been approved by the state house of assembly.
“you will be given free hands to
operate in your respective council, but whoever sidesteps his bound will pay a
price,” he said.
In the 2015 election, Buhari got
1.9 million votes from Kano.

ReplyDeleteI guess the 5m votes Ganduje is talking about will include votes from all under-aged children, cows and cattles in Kano.
