The new Executive Governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has said all public places and assets that were “immorally” taken and sold by the Ganduje administration should be taken over by law enforcement agencies pending the government’s final decision.
He said this today via his official Twitter handle, @Kyusufabba.
“In line with our transition advisory. I am announcing today, that all public places and assets that were immorally plundered and sold by the Ganduje administration should be taken over by law enforcement agencies pending the final decision of the Government.”
This order is coming less than 24 hours after the Governor was sworn in.
The new Governor said, “We have noted that the last administration had sold lands in and around schools, religious and cultural sites, hospitals and clinics, graveyards and green areas, and along the city walls of Kano.
“We have also noted that they indiscriminately sold numerous other landed properties and assets belonging to the Kano State Government within and outside the State to their cronies and agents.” He said
In Kano Gubernatorial elections, the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC lost to the New Nigeria People Party, NNPP.
Meanwhile, the immediate past Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of the APC, has been in a clash with his predecessor, now NNPP Leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, over multiple issues, especially on governmental decisions.
