In spite of New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP’s victory at the March 18 gubernatorial election in Kano state, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano has laughably declared that only God knows the political party that will take over from him in May 29.
The two-term governor made the statement at the commissioning of some road projects in Kano.
His words, “It’s normal for a government to inherit projects. We inherited some and completed them; and as a government we are leaving some projects for the incoming administration. Only God knows to which government I will transmit power, whether APC or NNPP.”
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the candidate of the NNPP, Yusuf Abba Kabir, as the winner of the Kano governorship election.
The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has disputed the results and taken INEC and NNPP to court over the declaration of NNPP’s Yusuf as the governor-elect.
But, in April, the Kano state Executive Council set up a 17-member Transition Committee for a handing over to the incoming administration.
The council also approved a 100-member sub-committee whose constitution will be drawn from various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
