Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has promised to take advantage of the presence of elected local government chairmen in all the 44 LGAs of the state to further touch the lives of rural dwellers and address youth unemployment.

The governor spoke shortly after casting his vote at Chiranchi Ward, Kano Municipal Local Government Area in Saturday’s local government elections.

He said his government had done so much even without elected chairmen, initiating a lot of developmental projects across 44 local government areas.

According to a statement from his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, the governor said; “I think the rural dwellers are the luckiest as far as we are concern, these things that we have been doing without elected chairmen. Now, today we are electing the executive of the local government councils that will be able to talk and have direct contact with the rural dwellers, therefore, it would be unprecedented.

“My message to people is to be ready to receive more and more development in the state especially in the area of health, education, agriculture, empowerment; especially for our young men and women that have been looking for jobs, they should be rest assured that Kano State government in conjunction with all the 44 local government areas is going to take absolute care of their well-being, security and all that they deserve.”

Governor Yusuf maintained that those that would be elected under NNPP as chairmen and councillors are very responsible and credible personalities.

He assured that new elected local government council leaders would not be allowed to steal from treasury, warning that any of them who deviate from provision of needful developments would be punished according to Kano established laws.

The governor expressed satisfaction with the turnout of voters while saying that they should be rest assured that those they elected would live up to expectations.

He said, “They will work together with the state government to ensure that all the dividends of democracy are provided as promised during our campaign 2023 and even this year during our campaign for chairmen and councillors elections.

“I must say thanks to God Almighty, People have come out en masse to vote for the NNPP, during this local government elections where the voters are casting their votes to vote chairmen and councillors peacefully”.

The deputy governor of the state, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo voted at Kofar Fada ward in Gwarzo Local Government Area.
