Gov Bello congratulates Ganduje on Supreme Court victory

Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has congratulated Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on his victory at the Supreme Court on Monday, describing it as well deserved.

Governor Bello, in a statement issued on Monday by his Chief Press Secretary, Onogwu Muhammed, said the verdict of the five-man panel of Justices of the Supreme Court led by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, affirming Ganduje as the validly elected governor of Kano State has laid to rest all the legal fireworks that trailed the earlier mandate given to him by the people of the state.

He described the Supreme Court verdict as a victory not only for Ganduje and Kano people but for the entire ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) family across the federation.

Governor Bello described Ganduje as one of the strong pillars of the ruling APC, adding that his enormous role in the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last presidential election could not be overemphasized.

“I urge the good people of Kano State to give Governor Ganduje the needed support and cooperation to enable him to consolidate on the laudable projects and programmes he has started as well as those he plans to embark upon for the overall good of the people.

“I congratulate you once again and pray that the Almighty Allah would continue to protect and keep you in good health to enable you to deliver on your campaign promises for the people of Kano State during this your second term in office”, the governor said in the statement.
