The Kano APC governorship candidate in the March 18 elections, Nasiru Gawuna, has accepted defeat and congratulated the candidate of the NNPP, Abba Yusuf.
Mr Gawuna, the incumbent deputy governor of Kano, conveyed his congratulations in a statement issued on Wednesday in Kano by his chief press secretary, Hassan Musa-Fagge.
“I am congratulating him, and I pray for him for Allah’s guidance in his administration. Initially, we have prayed to Allah to choose what is best for us because he is the almighty who gives power to whom He wishes,” the Kano deputy governor explained. “Even though our party has written a petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to complain to review the election due to some irregularities, today it has issued the pronounced winner with (a) certificate of return. I have taken it in good faith.”
He added, “I am thanking President Muhammadu Buhari for coming out to seek the support of the Kano electorate to vote for me. To the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice-President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, and my leader, Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, thank you for your immeasurable contribution. I am expressing my appreciation to the Kano people and the APC supporters for casting their votes for the party.”
Mr Gawuna commended the APC campaign council members, party executives and stalwarts for their dedication, loyalty and commitment to his political ambition.
He called on Kano people and APC supporters to remain law-abiding.
