Supporters of Abba Yusuf in Kano celebrate governorship election results
KANO, NIGERIA – (AA): Supporters of Abba Yusuf took to the streets of Kano, Nigeria, on Monday to celebrate the victory in governorship election in the state on Sauturday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has announced the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Abba Yusuf, as the winner.
Millions of Nigerians headed to polls on Saturday to elect state governors.
The elections of governors originally fixed for March 11 were shifted to March 18 after a court granted the INEC’s request to reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BIVAS) in the 774 local governments (counties) in the country.
Governors in Nigeria are very powerful as they shape the politics and economic policies of the country.
