The Kano Independent Electoral Commission, (KANSIEC) has issued Certificates of Return to the newly elected 44 Local Government Chairmen across the State.
The certificates were issued by the Commission’s Chairman, Prof. Sani Malumfashi, yesterday.
Malumfashi noted that the commission has the mandate to issue the certificates and urged the newly elected LG chairmen and councillors to discharge their duties effectively. While issuing the certificates, he said, “The Commission has the mandate to do that. They are now charged with the responsibility of attending to the official needs of their respective LGAs”.
The State governor, Abba Kabir-Yusuf, subsequently swore-in the chairmen at Government House in Kano.
The State electoral Commission had declared the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) the winner of all 44 chairmanship positions and the 484 councillorship positions in Saturday’s LG election in the State despite a Federal High Court judgment sacking the Commission’s chairman for being a card-carrying member of a political party.
