Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has emphasized that his administration is not engaging in political vendetta but rather focused on the progress of the state.
Abba Kabir Yusuf, popularly known as Abba Gida-Gida, made this statement during a speech while receiving the Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, who paid a Sallah homage. He challenged critics to keep records of his work and judge him after he completes his tenure.
The Governor’s statement is likely in response to the outcry that followed his administration’s policy reversals, mass dismissal of civil servants employed by his predecessor, and the demolition of structures in public spaces within the first 30 days in office.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Hisham Habib, which was made available to journalists in Kano on Monday, Governor Yusuf lamented how individuals in power could seize public property and convert it for personal use.
However, he disclosed that his principal had tasked cabinet members to collaborate with the council chairmen in the various local governments to identify critical issues requiring government attention.
Governor Yusuf, while addressing the emir, also directed the Commissioner of Health, Dr Abubakar Labaran, to work tirelessly to ensure the smooth restoration of health services at Hasiya Bayero Paediatric Hospital within two weeks.
According to the statement, Alhaji Yusuf affirmed his administration’s commitment to effectively implement the free maternity policy.
“The governor also reiterated the NNPP-led government’s commitment to refuse evacuation and management and expressed concern over sanitation in the state.”
In his speech, the Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim Abdulkadir, informed the governor that the emirate had established a strong vigilance committee to enhance security in the region.
