Despite the announcement of a curfew by Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje following the declaration of Abba Yusuf as the winner of Saturday’s governorship election, hundreds of residents still trooped out to celebrate the victory.
Internal affairs commissioner Muhammad Garba had issued a statement urging people in Kano to stay indoors due to security concerns.
However, this did not stop NNPP supporters from gathering in various parts of Kano to joyfully commemorate Yusuf’s win.
INEC had declared Yusuf as the winner of the election, beating Deputy Governor Nasir Gawuna at the polls and sparking tension in the state.
In order to prevent chaos, the government imposed a dawn-to-dusk curfew on Monday and urged Kano citizens to abide by it.
