Ganduje Who Was Booed In Kano, Promises Buhari 5m Votes If He Contests In 2019 + Video

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, who was recently booed in his home town during a visit, says the state will give President Muhammadu Buhari five million votes if he contests the 2019 election.

A viral video obtained by BigPen Online shown Governor Ganduje being booed few days ago in his own village by locals who shout “we don’t want you again” in Hausa language.

This followed the outcome of the just concluded local government elections in state which were controversially cleared by All Progressive Congress (APC).

However, speaking at the swearing-in of 44 new local government council chairmen and 484 councillors on Monday night, Ganduje said the victory recorded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the local government polls shows that the “party is Kano”.

“The overall number of votes scored by the APC candidates is more than what President Buhari scored in 2015 general election, that is to say that if eventually he agreed to contest 2019 general election, I assured you, we will give you five million votes,” he said.

“We have seen in this election was a clear indication that Kano is APC and ready to contribute to its success any time.”

The governor warned the newly elected public officers against mismanagement of funds.

He said anyone caught would “pay the price.”

Ganduje also said the 2018 local government budget has been approved by the state house of assembly.

“you will be given free hands to operate in your respective council, but whoever sidesteps his bound will pay a price,” he said.

According to TheCable report, in the 2015 election, Buhari got 1.9 million votes from Kano.
