KANO: Ganduje ready to face PDP in court

 

Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who was re-elected in the just concluded supplementary polls in the state, has said he is ever ready to face the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which vowed to challenge his victory in court.

While receiving thousands of supporters who trooped to congratulate him over his re-election in Ganduje town of Dawakin Tofa local government, Ganduje accused the opposition of electoral malpractises.

He said: “Before the re-run election, which we emerged victorious, they were deep-neck in ballot stuffing and other electoral offences, a ploy that was later uncovered.”

Ganduje added that it was after the ballot stuffing scenario that genuine election was conducted at the supplementary election, which he described as fair and credible.

Meanwhile, in a statement signed by the commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, the Kano state governor promised an all-inclusive government, saying “I will not betray the people of the state and no one will be harassed or intimidated by my government.”

“We have no intention whatsoever to intimidate anybody be it civil servant or private citizen. Elections are associated with heated debate on political differences, but they are over and we have a big task of working together because Kano belongs to all of us,” the statement added.
