The Kano Independent Electoral Commission 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, on Sunday,
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.
“By the requirements of the electoral processes, the commission is still saddled with the responsibility of issuing certificates of return to the elected chairmen and councillors as the legitimate leaders of their local government areas. 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,” Malumfashi said while issuing the certificates.
The report also stated that the state governor, Abba Yusuf, would soon swear in the chairmen at Government House in Kano.
The state electoral commission had declared the New Nigeria People’s Party the winner of all 44 chairmanship positions and the 484 councillorship positions in Saturday’s LG election in the state.
