The Osun State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has congratulated Kano State governor‑elect, Mr. Yusuf Abba, on his victory in last Saturday’s governorship election. The Independent National Electoral Commission announced that Abba, the NNPP candidate, won with 1,019,602 votes, defeating the All Progressives Congress candidate, Nasir Gawuna, who received 890,705 votes.
A statement signed by Osun NNPP chairman Tosin Odeyemi, obtained in Osogbo on Tuesday, described Abba’s victory as a clear indication of the trust Kano people have in the party and its candidate. The statement noted that the leadership provided by NNPP presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso in Kano State helped the party secure this landmark win.
The statement continued: “We are excited because Abba defeated the sitting deputy governor in Kano State. That shows the love the people have for him and the NNPP. We also commend the political leadership that Senator Kwankwaso has been providing for us in the NNPP, which he often says will pave the way for the party all over the country. We believe this will happen sometime soon.”
“We pray for divine wisdom and wherewithal for the governor‑elect and urge the people of Kano State to join hands with him to develop the state. We are hopeful that the NNPP’s victory in Kano will be a launching pad for the party to spread and take root across the country, especially in the South‑West region.”
