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.
