 Kano LG polls peaceful – KANSIEC chairman


Prof.Lawal Malumfashi, Chairman of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC), has expressed satisfaction with the ongoing local government elections in Kano State.

Malumfashi said that  peaceful election was a welcome development, especially given the importance of local government autonomy.


The chairman said that all efforts put in by the commission  to ensure a smooth election had  paid off, especially  without any major incident across the state.
