He said he would volunteer to serve as the returning officer in the election.

The former federal lawmaker stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @ShehuSani on Friday, June 21.

In the humorous statement, Sani added that the Bi-Modal Voter Accreditation System (BIVAS) can be used during the election.

He wrote:

Buba Galadima, an elder statesman, who gave the advice, said actors don't usually agree on issues regarding Kano politics.

Galadima's statement came days after NNPP national leader Rabiu Kwankwaso accused the federal government of listening to Kano enemies on the rift between Bayero and Sanusi.
