Kano State remains one of the states awaiting the final judgement in a gubernatorial case where the two strong parties are struggling to climb the ladder of power after the March 18 governorship election in 2023.
As the Supreme Court fixed today for the final verdict, all the All Progressives Congress (APC) and New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) supporters were seen in groups intensifying prayers for the success of their sides and based on our reporter’s observation across the city centre and some local government areas, there was normalcy at both rural and urban settlements.
In the metropolitan area, business activities were ongoing hitch-free at Sabon Gari, Kantin Kwari, Singer and Kofar Wambai Markets without any obstacles, while transportation from one location to the other was also normal.
Similarly, the activities at some rural areas were also normal and lucrative, despite the forthcoming Supreme Court verdict, with most of the people that had an interactive session with our correspondent, optimistic that Kano will remain peaceful even after the verdict.
Malam Musa Gwammaja from Dala Local Government Area, said that, “Kano is special in politics and commerce, therefore, even after the court judgement, we would remain peaceful because no politician is allowed to take the advantage of the court issue to create violence in our state for his own interest”.
As at the time of filing this report, there was no presence of additional security personnel, which is a clear indication that Kano State residents would continue to be law abiding citizens, despite the heated political misunderstanding.
