“….That is to say that if eventually Buhari agreed to contest 2019 general election, I assure you, we would give you 5 million votes.”
“We have seen in this election was a clear indication that Kano is APC and ready to contribute to its success any time.”
Ganduje then warned the elected officers to tread softly on the common patrimony, stressing that anyone caught for pilfering and mismanagement would pay a price.
“You will be given free hands to operate in your respective council, but whoever sidesteps his bound will pay a price”
He also charged them to work with relevant stakeholders within and outside their domain.
Buhari has yet to signify intention to contest the presidency in 2019.
