“As a governor of Kano state and the Chief Security Officer of the state, I cannot sleep if any drop of blood is wasted.
”I am not speaking as a gubernatorial candidate, but as the executive governor of Kano state and the chief security officer of the state. Anybody wishing to disrupt the peace of the state will not go scot-free,” he said.
The Kano Peace Ambassadors assured Ganduje of their resolve to promote peaceful co-existence before, during and after the re-run election.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Kano chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) alerted security agencies to hold Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso responsible in any case of reported violence throughout the rerun election in the state.
The Kano APC in a statement signed by the state's commissioner for information, youth and culture, Malam Muhammad Garba, expressed shock over why the senator was yet to be cautioned after some alleged inciting comments made by him.
The statement read in part: “It is no longer secret that Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso has seen the March 23 supplementary election as a war he is not ready to lose. His recent utterances indicate his ability to incite and cause violence in the state before, during and after the elections”.
