Yusuf appoints new political adviser

Kano Governor Abba Yusuf on Saturday named Alhaji Mustapha Buhari Bakwana as his new Political Adviser, praising his political savvy and support for the administration.

The appointment was announced at Government House during a ceremony where 800 motorcycles were handed out to journalists and social media influencers.

Bakwana’s appointment comes after the former Political Adviser Sunusi Surajo Kwankwaso was sacked by the Governor.

It was gathered the loyalty of the sacked political adviser Yusuf was in doubt after the governor resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

“His loyalty is still with the leader of the NNPP Rabiu Kwankwaso, at the detriment of the governor,” a source told The Nation on Saturday.

Yusuf said Bakwana’s appointment was based on his commitment, loyalty, and contributions to the administration’s growth.

He expressed confidence that Bakwana would strengthen government policies and political engagements.

The Governor said Bakwana’s loyalty and contributions to the government’s growth will be key to strengthening policies and engagement.

“His experience and commitment earned him the appointment,” Yusuf said.

The motorcycles, distributed to boost media coverage of government activities, were part of Yusuf’s push to partner with journalists and influencers in promoting governance and democratic values.

Yusuf noted the media’s critical partnership in governance, informing the public and deepening democratic values.

He appealed to beneficiaries to support his administration by objectively projecting its achievements and policies, stressing the importance of collaboration for development goals.

Beneficiaries praised Governor Yusuf’s commitment to supporting media practitioners and social media influencers.
