Senator Nasiha Confirmed As New Zamfara Deputy Governor

Senator Hassan Nasiha has been confirmed as the new Deputy Governor of Zamfara by the state House of Assembly.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) federal lawmaker was confirmed on Wednesday following his nomination by the state Governor, Bello Matawalle.

Nasiha (Zamfara Central – APC) was appointed shortly after the assembly impeached the former Deputy Governor, Aliyu Gusau during plenary on Wednesday.

Matawalle, who wasted no time, sent a letter to the assembly signed by Secretary to the State Government, Kabiru Balarabe, seeking the screening of Nasiha.

The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Nasiru Muazu Magarya, read the governor’s letter during plenary.

When he appeared before the assembly, the nominee was asked to “bow and leave” in line with the tradition of the legislative house.

Majority Leader, Faruku Dosara moved the motion for the confirmation of Nasiha and was unanimously approved by the lawmakers.
