Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Abdullahi Abbas, has warned the state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to obey the court ruling stopping the conduct of local government elections to avoid throwing the state into chaos.

CityNews reports that Yusuf reaffirmed the state’s commitment to conducting the local government elections scheduled for October 26, 2024, despite a Federal High Court judgment that voided the poll.

The court had invalidated the election process on the grounds that card-carrying members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) were serving as executive officers of the election commission.

He said, “The governor should simply respect the laws. As law-abiding citizens interested in the growth of our dear state of Kano, the governor should desist from any act that could throw the state into chaos. Inciting people to take the laws into their hand is not the hallmark of good leadership.”
