A few minutes after the verdict of the Supreme Court that reaffirmed his victory, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has called on members of the opposition to join hands with him for the continued development of the state.

“We thank Allah for the victory that made it possible for the Supreme Court to reaffirm our victory after Election Petition Tribunal and Court of Appeal judgements. We also thank Kano people for the peaceful conduct of their affairs,” said Governor Ganduje.

The Governor also thanked all those who actively participated in praying for the victory that came his way, emphasising that, “Whoever believes and depends on Allah, will always see light at the beginning, mid and end of the tunnel, no matter the circumstances.”

“We also commend all the Judges who partook in this exercise of deepening democracy. This shows the commitment of our judiciary in strengthening our democracy. This is highly commendable,” he added.

Ganduje said, “I insist that our opposition should come and join us to move the state forward. We have a lot of developmental projects on the ground and more are coming.

“Our free and compulsory education policy needs all hands on deck. Our security system also needs all and sundry,” he said.

Immediately after the announcement of the Supreme Court Verdict, the Government House in Kano was filled to capacity with people celebrating the victory.

The same look took over the streets of the state.
