I’m Glad Tinubu, Shettima Didn’t Interfere In Supreme Court Ruling Despite Stiff Pressure – Yusuf

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for not interfering in the Kano governorship election legal battle despite stiff pressure from some disgruntled elements.

He also extended hands of friendship to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, and his followers to join hands with his government towards the development of the state.

The statement reads, “According to Governor Abba, as a true democrat and progressive, I call on my opponent and his supporters to join hands with me in the crusade of developing our dear state Kano for the betterment of its teaming citizens.

“People of Kano need leaders with vision, passion, zeal, and commitment to initiating projects, policies and programmes that have a direct bearing on their lives in all facets and across nooks and crannies of the state.
