Emir Bayero Congratulates Kano Governor-elect

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero has congratulated the governor-elect of Kano State Abba Kabir Yusuf over his victory in last Saturday’s election.

In a letter he signed, Bayero said the people had accepted the democratic system of government, “which is very important seeing how they came out en masse to cast their votes as provided by the constitution.”

Bayero thanked Islamic scholars, priests and others for the prayers they offered for peace, before, during and after the elections.

The monarch called on the governor-elect to cooperate with all the community groups in running the government as doing so would help to improve lives and enhance economic growth.

He further prayed for a lasting peace and stability in Kano as well as other parts of Nigeria.
