According to the results from the 28th Local Government Area collation, Nasir Gawuna of the APC had secured 524,207 votes, while NNPP’s Abba Bichi Yusuf trailed with 516,292 votes. The election had been peaceful and well-coordinated, with high voter turnout. However, the tension is expected to increase as the final results are being collated.
Kano State is a significant political battleground in Nigeria, and the outcome of the election is critical to both parties. The APC currently holds the governorship seat, and winning a second term would solidify its hold on the state. The NNPP, on the other hand, is looking to gain power in the state for the first time, and the close margin indicates that the party has a fighting chance.
