2019 elections: Why Kano governor cannot deliver 5m votes he promised Buhari

- Governor Ganduje cannot give President Buhari the five million votes he promised in Kano state

- INEC statistics shows that only 4,696,747 collected their PVCs in the state

- If every voter in Kano decide to vote for Buhari, Ganduje would still miss his target by 303,253 votes

The latest statistics by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the collection of Permanent Voters Card so far, has shown that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state cannot deliver the five million votes he promised President Muhammadu Buhari.

In 2018, Ganduje promised Buhari five million votes, saying: "The overall number of votes scored by the APC candidates is more than what President Buhari scored in 2015 general election, that is to say that if eventually he agreed to contest 2019 general election, I assured you, we will 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."

According to statistics released by INEC on Thursday, February 21, Kano has 5,457,747 registered voters. Out of that number, only 4,696,747 collected their PVCs.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
