 Following the announcement of the state governorship election results, the Kano state government imposed a dawn-to-dusk curfew.

Rabiu Kwankwaso and Abdullahi Ganduje are set to determine the next governor of Kano state (Legit)

The state Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba, said in a statement issued Monday morning that the decision was made to avoid a breakdown in law and order in the state.

According to the commissioner, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje made the decision to prevent hoodlums from wreaking havoc in the already volatile state.

Garba urged residents to stay indoors because security agents would not spare anyone or any group intent on causing trouble.

However, Abba Kabir Yusuf, the governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has been declared the winner of the Kano state governorship election.

Yusuf, who polled 1,019,602 votes, was declared the winner of the election by the returning officer in Kano, Ahmad Dokko Ibrahim.
