In a short video message, Kwankwaso claimed that from the results collated so far, his party is confident of winning Saturday’s governorship election.
He insisted that the votes must be accompanied from their respective polling units to Registration Area Collation Centres.
“I thank all Kwankwasiyya and NNPP supporters for their solidarity. But I also call on patriots to make sure that they follow the collation process to their RAC centres, Local Government and even state level.
“We have intelligence reports that some enemies of this state are trying to take advantage of this to disrupt the process,” Kwankwaso said.
Daily Trust reports that voting has ended in most polling units across the state, while counting and sorting has already commenced.
Although there are many parties contesting, the Kano election is mostly seen as a two-horse race between APC’s Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and NNPP’s Abba Kabir Yusuf.
