Following the widespread resignations of his commissioners ahead of party primaries for political seats, Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje nominated new commissioners to take their place.
Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, a close associate of the former governor of Kano State, and Malam Garba Yusuf Abubakar are two of the new commissioners whose names have been submitted for approval to the state House of Assembly.
Yusif Jibril Rurum, a veteran journalist and former member of the National Assembly, Adamu Abdu Panda, and Saleh Kausani are among names on the list of new commissioners.
It has been established that Garba Yusuf Abubakar was a member of the cabals that oversaw the operations of the government of Governor Malam Ibrahim Shekarau for 8 years, from 2003 to 2015, and that he held the state’s ministries of information, land and physical planning, and finance during that time.
People never anticipated that Garba Yusuf Abubakar would sever ties with a longtime comrade and friend.
Garba Due to his affiliation with Jamaatu Izalatul Bidia Wa ikamatussunnah, Yusuf Abubakar is commonly known in Kano as Garba Izala.
Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, who currently serves as the senator for Kano Central, joined Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s New Nigeria People’s Party as a result of a party problem, and has since won the party’s nomination for senate in the general election of 2023.
