Gov. Yusuf Swears In Shitu As Chairman, Kumbotso LG—-Kano State Governor H.E Abba Yusuf on Thursday swore in Abdullahi Shitu as the duly elected Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government Council.

A statement by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin -Tofa, indicated that the ceremony took place at the Government House, Kano.

He said that the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Dederi, administered the oath on Shitu .

“This development follows a recent judgment by the Kano High Court which granted a stay of execution, allowing the inauguration to proceed in line with constitutional protocols.

“Dederi confirmed that the court’s ruling removed any legal hindrances to Shitu’s assumption of office, and he emphasised that the process was in full compliance with the Nigerian Constitution.

“With this judgement, Shitu is now fully authorized to take over the responsibilities and duties of the Kumbotso Local Government Council,” the statement said.

Dawakin-Tofa quoted Dederi as reaffirming the commitment of the administration to upholding the rule of law while striving to improve the quality of life for its people.

“In his acceptance speech, Shitu thanked Governor Yusuf for respecting due process by awaiting the court’s decision.

“He called on his opponents and community members to unite and support the council’s efforts in fostering progress and development for the council,” he added.

2027: NASS Leadership Endorses Tinubu—-The leadership of the National Assembly (NASS) on Thursday at the National Summit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, held in Abuja, endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The endorsement was moved by Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, and seconded by Hon. Tajudeen Abass, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This followed an earlier endorsement of Tinubu as the sole candidate of the APC in the 2027 by Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum.

Akpabio moved that Tinubu should be adopted as the sole candidate of the APC for the Presidency in 2027.

“Nigerians are saying that because you have done a difficult job well, that it is time to reward you by sending you back to the Presidency for a second term in office,” he said.

Akpabio said the endorsement was based on the political sagacity of Tinubu, whom he said had been able to set Nigeria on the path of growth as confirmed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

He said Nigerians and people at the grassroots were very excited, and that members of the National Assembly were also excited and had never had it so good.

Abass said he stood on behalf of 109 Senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives, and all the 36 Speakers and their members, to second the motion raised by the president of the senate.
