The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, KANSIEC, has presented Certificates of Return to winners of Saturday’s local government elections.
KANSIEC chairman Professor Sani Malumfashi presented the certificates to the 44 elected council chairmen.
Among those elected as council chairmen is a young woman, Sa’adatu Yushau Tudunwada. She was elected as the Chairperson of Tudunwada LGA.
“The issuance of today’s Certificates of Return marked the concluding end of our mandate which we have carried out diligently and in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the land,” the KANSIEC chairman said.
Speaking to newsmen, Tudunwada promised to ensure equity for the people of her local government area, regardless of their party affiliation.
The newly elected Chairman of Fagge LGA, Salisu Masu, expressed concern that the council is experiencing revenue shortages due to leakages.
He said, “I will do all I could to block leakages and improve revenue generation because right now, from the information I’m receiving, our Federal Government subvention is not even enough to pay salaries until the state government augments US?”
