Bayero University Kano Students Urged to Stay Calm Amid Election Disqualification Controversy

A message of appeal for calm has emerged from within Bayero University, Kano (BUK) as students react to a purported press release by the Bayero University Kano Independent Electoral Commission (BUKIECO) announcing the disqualification of a presidential aspirant.

The message, believed to be from the disqualified candidate, calls for rationality and highlights certain key points of concern.

In the message, the candidate notes that the press release in question lacks official attributes—it is informal, undated, unsigned, and has not been officially handed to them. The candidate further emphasizes that essential election processes, including the screening exercise and a presidential debate, have already taken place. The students have expressed readiness to participate in the election and show their support for the "SADAUKI movement," which has demonstrated a commitment to students' interests.

The candidate reiterates their dedication to addressing important student concerns, including hostel sanitation, security, power and water supply, price regulation, and overall academic and social well-being.

As the situation unfolds, the message encourages trust in the electoral process and requests students to lend their mandate to the SADAUKI movement.

Aliyu Mahmud Abdullahi (SADAUKI), the S.U.G. Presidential Aspirant for 2023, calls for unity and composure among Bayero University, Kano students as they navigate this period of uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election.
