The outgoing Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has declared that only God knows the party that he will eventually hand over to come the 29th of May.
Ganduje made this declaration while commissioning of some road projects in Kano on Friday.
He said, ‘It’s normal for a government to inherit projects. We inherited some and completed them, and as a government we are leaving some projects for the incoming administration. Only God knows to which government I will transmit power, whether APC or NNPP.’
Africa Today News, New York recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Yusuf Abba Kabir, as the winner of the Kano governorship election.
The ruling All Progressives Congress(APC), has disputed the results and dragged INEC and NNPP to court over the declaration of Yusuf of the New Nigeria People Party, NNPP as the governor-elect.

But, in April, the Kano state Executive Council set up a 17-member Transition Committee for a handing over to the incoming administration.
The council also went on to approve a 100-member sub-committee whose constitution will be drawn from various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
In another report, Ganduje had yesterday endorsed the former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, as the next Senate President of Nigeria.
Ganduje spoke in Calabar, the Cross River State capital on Thursday during a courtesy visit to his Cross River counterpart, Prof. Ben Ayade.
The Kano governor, who was accompanied by the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Gambari said the decision to nominate Akpabio was already a done deal.
He, however, did not explain if it was a decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership.
