Abdullahi Ganduje

The candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP) Abba Kabiru Yusuf, won the Kano state governorship election held on Saturday 18th March 2023.

However, the state government has imposed a dawn to dusk curfew, which it said was in a view to avoid breakdown of law and order following tensions generated from the collation of results of the governorship and state Assembly elections.

The commissioner for information and internal affairs in the state, Malam Muhammad Garba, stated this in a statement issued Monday morning.

He said the decision was to prevent hoodlums from causing chaos in the already tensed situation.

The commissioner called on people in the state to remain indoors as security agents would not spare anyone or group bent on causing trouble.
