“The exercise had been largely peaceful and successful in all ramifications. The Commission therefore deeply appreciates the roles played by the critical stakeholders, notably security agencies, media organizations, leaders of political parties, civil society organisations, religious leaders, community leaders, youth and women organisations, towards the actualization of grassroot democracy in the state.
“The Commission is also profoundly grateful to the good people of Kano State for their collective support, prayers and expression of positive emotions,” he said.
Prof. Malumfashi added that the peaceful conduct of the exercise is a manifestation of public acceptability of the exercise in terms of credibility, fairness and decency.
