By Ismail Azeez, Osogbo

The Osun state chairman of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Dr. Tosin Odeyemi, has congratulated the governor-elect of Kano state, Yusuf Kabir Abba, on his emergence in the last Saturday’s gubernatorial election.

Odeyemi, who described Abba’s victory as a clear demonstration of the trust Kano people has in him, noted that the leadership provided by the presidential candidate of the party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso in the State also helped the party in coasting home the landslide victory.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Kabir Abba winner after a keenly contest in which he polled 1,019,602 votes to defeat the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasir Gawuna who polled 890,705 votes.

Odeyemi noted that for the new governor to defeat the sitting deputy governor in Kano state showed the love his people has for him and his past leadership traits.

He also saluted the political and leadership sagacity of Senator Kwankwaso which he maintained will pave way for the party all over the Country soon.

He prayed for divine wisdom and wherewithal for the governor-elect and enjoined the people of Kano state to join hands with him in making Kano a proud State.

Odeyemi however, encouraged the people of Osun to believe in NNPP as it’s becoming a strong third force in Nigeria.
