Kano Central: Rufai Hanga opens up after Supreme Court’s victory

Senator-elect for Kano Central, Rufai Hanga has reacted to the Supreme Court judgement directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare him the winner of the senatorial election for Kano Central instead of Ibrahim Shekarau whose name was earlier announced.

Hanga, who expressed delight over the latest development, said the truth has prevailed and he is extremely grateful to Almighty Allah.

In an interview with newsmen, Hanga expressed surprise over the behaviour of INEC in announcing the name of Shekarau who was not even a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party that was on the ballot.

Recall that Shekarau had since left the NNPP and joined the PDP, but his name remained in the INEC record for the Kano Central Senatorial election, despite several litigations before the Supreme Court finally ruled in favour of Senator-elect, Rufai Hanga.
