The National Patriotic Coalition NPC has criticized the recent local government election in Kano State, describing it as a 'sham" and a clear affront to democratic principles.
DAILY POST reports that despite a Federal High Court ruling that invalidated the candidacy of New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP contenders, observers allege that Governor Abba Yusuf proceeded with the election in direct defiance of judicial authority.
In a statement signed by Kunle Solomon, the NPC asserted that the results-where the NNPP claimed victory across all 44 chairmanships and 484 councillorship seats-lack legitimacy.
Solomon described the process as "a comedy taken too far" and referred to it as a "kangaroo election" that saw the participation of underage children.
The statement criticized Governor Yusuf's decision to proceed with the polls, asserting that he lacks both preparation and understanding of the electoral process.
