The Kano State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Zango Abdu while issuing the certificates said, the electoral umpire has done its part in ensuring credible elections in the state.
He said, “When I came to Kano 5 months ago, I promised to conduct an election that everyone would be proud of. Though it has not been easy, Alhamdulillah, that promised has been kept and as you can see the state remains peaceful today because the right thing was done by INEC.
“Though we had to go for supplementary elections in some polling units, which represent only 2% of the total number of polling units in the state, today, every winner has been declared and issued his certificate of return, which marks the end of the 2023 election activities in Kano.”
