The Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has stated that President Bola Tinubu resisted overwhelming public pressure and upheld the people’s mandate in the state. The governor, who asserted that certain individuals aimed to “hijack the hard-earned mandate” of the Kano people, commended the president for his “skillful defence” of Nigeria’s democracy following the Supreme Court’s decision on the state’s gubernatorial election.
