Govs’ Entrenched Interests Responsible For Our Election Losses, Says APC National Chairman

The candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, won the governorship election with 1,019,602 votes to defeat candidate of the APC, Dr. Nasir Yusuf Gawuna, who polled 890,705 votes.

Reacting to the outcome in an interview with BBC Hausa Service monitored in Abuja on Wednesday, the party’s national chairman said it was sad for the party to lose important state like Kano, adding that the party would take action on the erring members.

He said, “It was the fault of others that made us lose in Kano. There are those who did not do what they should do.
