Many youths on Friday thronged some major streets to celebrate the Supreme Court judgement following the declaration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, as the duly elected governor of the State.
The celebrants were seen in troops along all the streets across the metropolis chanting solidarity songs and dancing in the streets, raising placards and party insignia.
It was observed that some of the jubilating youths were seen stunting with motorcycles and cars in the city while others were seen dragging brooms which is the logo of All Progressives Party.
One of jubilating youths, who simply gave his name as Hassan noted that the Supreme Court averted what would have been a violent reaction.
“The Supreme Court has saved Kano from violent reaction because, if the judgement had not favoured Abba, the situation would have been different by now.
“But with what you are seeing now, there is relief all over. People are going about with their normal businesses, ” he said.
At the market places that were hitherto closed down in the early hours of Friday, like the Rimi and Kantin Kwari markets, traders have already started opening their shops and places of business.
