In another report, Civil society domestic election observers in Kano have faulted the declaration of NNPP's Yusuf as the winner of the March 18 governorship election in the state.
The observers asked the electoral umpire to review the declaration and conduct supplementary elections in the affected areas of over 270,000 cancelled votes in line with relevant electoral laws for the peace and progress of the state in particular and Nigeria at large.
They made their observation public during a press conference on Thursday, March 22, in Kano.
