Kano gov extends olive branch to opponents after Supreme Court ruling

Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has extended a hand of fellowship to his opponents in the 2023 governorship election, urging them to join hands with him to build the state.
Mr Yusuf said this in a statement by his Director-General, Media and Publicity, Mr Bature Dawakin-Tofa in Kano on Sunday.
He also lauded President Bola Tinubu for allowing the independence of the judiciary.
He said that Tinubu had demonstrated courage by resisting the temptation to influence the Supreme Court’s judgment on the governorship election.
“As a true democrat and progressive, I call upon my opponents and their supporters to join me in the endeavour to develop our beloved state of Kano for the betterment of its citizens,” Mr Yusuf said.
He also commended the people of the state for their support and resilience and the Supreme Court judges for upholding the integrity of the judiciary.
The governor also expressed appreciation to the leadership of the New Nigerian People’s Party at all levels, particularly Senator. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement for the numerous supports accorded him.
